Members and non-members wishing to present a paper at ALT VI are asked to e-mail a one-page abstract to the chair of the program committee, Lindsay Whaley, to reach him no later than January 1, 2005. A second page may be included with the abstract listing data. The abstract itself should contain no identification of the author. A separate page should indicate the title of the abstract, the name(s) of the author(s), and one mailing address, with telephone, fax, and e-mail address as available.

The committee strongly encourages submissions by e-mail (preferably with the abstract in pdf format and author information as part of the e-mail text), but abstracts may also be sent by fax. Authors are asked to check their pdf files carefully to ensure that special characters are embedded properly.

Submissions should be sent to: lindsay.whaley@dartmouth.edu
(fax number: 1-603-646-9288)

The time allotted for presentation and discussion is 30 minutes. Members may also submit abstracts for symposia, including the names of participants and the amount of time requested. Participants may not be involved in more than two abstracts, of which at most one may be single-authored. English is the preferred language at the conference. Talks in other languages will be accepted only at the discretion of the program committee.

By February 1, 2005 the program committee will convey its decision on acceptance of papers to those submitting abstracts. The committee consists of Balthasar Bickel, David Gil, Aditi Lahiri, Brian Migliazza, Uri Tadmor and Lindsay Whaley (chair).

A limited amount of financial assistance is available for ALT participants.
