 ANNOUNCEMENT

In accordance with the theme of our 10th Anniversary meeting, of
focusing on future aspirations, we are offering an award of
$500 for the best proposal submitted describing a substantive
research project to be done using conceptual graphs (cgs).
Only bona fide students, that is, both graduates and undergraduates
currently registered at recognized educational institutions,
may make eligible submissions.

Proposals may deal with advances in theory, application, or
implementation. They ought to be substantive and thoughtful, including
enough detail to describe adequately the limits of the proposed project,
to a maximum of ten pages, preferably fewer. The planned research
is expected to be productive of significant results,
which may be measured or otherwise rigorously evaluated.

Five copies of each proposal must be sent to:
