GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
Submit an electronic version (preferred) or 6 copies of a regular paper
(maximum 6000 words) or a concise paper (maximum 3000 words) to the
Symposium Program co-Chairs by November 16, 1998.  All papers, whether
regular or concise, should clearly indicate what is new and significant
about the work being presented and should consist of material not
previously published or currently being considered for another forum.
Additional information as well as detailed instructions on submission
can be found at the SSR web page and its European mirror at:

		http://csalpha.unomaha.edu/~ssr99/

containing the title of the paper, author(s), affiliation(s), and
complete address (including phone and fax numbers and e-mail) of the
contact person. Include also a list of up to four relevant topical
areas. We are also seeking proposals for panel discussions. Panel
proposals must include an abstract of the topics, an outline and,
