SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS
Initial paper selection will be based upon abstracts.  An
abstract should present a clear and concise view of the
motivation of the subject, give an outline of the paper, and
provide a list of references.  The abstract should not exceed 600
words.  The International Program Committee will make the
decision concerning the acceptance of the papers.

Three copies of the abstracts should be received at the IASTED
Secretariat - ASC'97, #80, 4500 - 16 Avenue NW, Calgary, AB,
Canada, T3B 0M6 by January 6, 1997.  Authors should provide a
maximum of five keywords describing their work, and must include
a statement confirming that if their paper is accepted one of the
authors will attend the conference to present it.  Please include
the full name, affiliation, full address, telephone number, fax
number, and email address of the corresponding author.

Notifications will be mailed by March 3, 1997.  Authors of
accepted papers will be required to submit their camera-ready
final papers and registration by May 2, 1997.  Papers received
after that date will not be included in the proceedings.  The
International Program Committee reserves the right to reject any
final manuscripts if quality is low.  If this should occur, the
authors will be notified by May 15, 1997 and their registrations
will be refunded.
