author, to the program chair:

The abstract must provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee
to assess the merits of the paper and should include appropriate references
to and comparisons with the literature. It is recommended that each
submission begin with a succinct statement of the problem, a summary of the
main results, and a brief explanation of the significance and relevance to
the conference, all suitable for a non-specialist. Technical development of
the work, directed to the specialist, should follow. A limit of 10 typed
pages with roughly 35 lines/page (roughly 4,500 words in total) is placed
on submissions. If the authors believe that more details are essential to
substantiate the main claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked
appendix that will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee.
Abstracts conforming to the guidelines will be considered by the committee
if they are received by February 1, 1991, or postmarked by January 30, 1991,
and sent by AirMail. This is a FIRM deadline.
