            will be limited to 8 pages. Papers must not have been
            previously published or currently submitted for publication
            elsewhere.


            The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the
            paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address,
            telephone number, and Fax number for each author. The first
            page should also include the name of the author who will be
            presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords.




PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING TECHNICAL SESSIONS:


            Each technical session will have 5/6 paper presentations.
            The session chairs will be responsible to recruit and select
            the papers for their own sessions. The names of session
            chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference
            proceedings. Proposals to organize technical sessions should
            include the following information: name and address (+ E-mail)
            of proposer, title of session, a 100-word description of the
            topic of the session, and how you plan to advertise the session

            researchers in the topical area. The Camera-Ready papers
            will be reviewed by one person.




PUBLICATION:


            The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press
            (ISBN). The proceedings will be available at the conference.
            It is planned to select 20 papers for journal publication in
            related journals (after the conference).




ORGANIZERS/SPONSORS:

            computer associations (pending.)




LOCATION OF CONFERENCE:


            The conference will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort and
            Casino hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. This is a new hotel
            with excellent conference facilities and over 3000 rooms.
            The hotel is minutes from the Las Vegas airport with free
            shuttles to and from the airport.
            The hotel has many vacation and recreational attractions,
            including: casino, waterfalls, spa, kiddie pools, sunning
            decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades,
            lighted tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment,
