Visual aid requests: University of Lugano classrooms are normally equipped with video projectors (beamers), PCs with floppy disk and CD-ROM drives, screens, and overhead projectors, and most also include multi-standard VCRs (e.g. PAL and NTSC). Please specify, however, your audio-visual needs other than overhead projectors.

Ph.D. Colloquium: If your proposal is for the Ph.D. Colloquium, please indicate this, specifying your preference for a 20-minute presentation or a short 5-10 minute presentation (if you are at the beginning of your program, you are welcome to give a short presentation of your research area and any preliminary work you may have done).

Notification of acceptance: Acceptances will be communicated by the end of January in 2003.

Convention-related publications: Details about convention-related publications will be communicated following notification of acceptance.

Convention Language: The official language of the convention is English. Unless the session description in the program indicates another language will be used, all presentations will be in English. If another language is used, we suggest that handouts or slides be at least partly in English and that more time be dedicated to a discussion, allowing questions in English as well as in the language of the presentation. Any special arrangements for interpreting or summaries of points in English will have to be made by the presenter and communicated in the short program description.
