WE ARE EXTENDING THE SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE TO THE CONFERENCE TO MONDAY, MAY 8.
We have received a number of complaints about the lateness of our mailed
call for papers, traced mainly to processing delays with the University's
mail services. In the interest of fairness we have decided to extend the
deadline for submissions by one week, to May 8.
