Make very certain that all elements of your paper which are not of your own creation are free of copyright restriction. If you wish to use a copyrighted element -- an image, for example -- in your paper, you must obtain appropriate copyright clearance. Copyright clearance documentation must accompany your camera-ready copy.

Deadlines

The deadline for the receipt of your camera-ready copy and a black-and-white photocopy by the Proceedings Production Editor is 15 July 1998. This is a firm deadline; the production schedule for this publication is very tight.

(It is understood that, in certain areas outside the continental US, this is impractical. In these cases, please utilize an appropriate overnight courier service for delivery.) Once the paper has been accepted for delivery by the courier service, please e-mail the courier service and waybill number and expected date of delivery to the Proceedings Production Editor.
