Authors are invited to submit presentations in one of two categories:
* Full Papers
Authors should submit papers describing significant, original
and unpublished work. Such papers are expected to be approximately
10-20 pages in length. These papers will be fully refereed by the
programme committee and the accepted ones will appear in a conference
proceedings
As in previous years, a selection of the papers will appear in a
post conference volume published in the Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series. The second round of refereeing for this
volume will take place shortly after the conference.
* Abstracts
Abstracts of up to 1000 words in length (3-4 pages) can be
submitted by those who wish to give a talk but do not want to write an
academic paper. Abstracts will be fully refereed. The accepted ones
will appear in the conference proceedings. The actual abstracts will
not go forward to the second round of refereeing for the
post-conference volume. However, authors of accepted abstracts will
have the opportunity to write a paper (based on their abstract) and
submit it for the selected papers volume at a later date (shortly
after the conference).
Please see http://mat.gsia.cmu.edu/PATAT04 for further information.
Best wishes,
