MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES
We will coordinate related papers into 90-minute panel discussions. The submission will be posted on a password-protected web site. We assume that participants will read the papers for the conference sessions they plan to attend, but especially for those in which they will serve as panelists. At the beginning of each session, panelists summarize their work in 5-8 minutes. We reserve the remaining time for discussion among the panelists and audience. We strongly discourage “lecture” presentations to facilitate the learning-centered themes of the conference.
