A compendium of all extended abstracts will be distributed to the workshop attendees in the form of word-searchable CD ROM. To be included on the CD ROM, each extended abstract MUST, without exception, be submitted as DOS-format computer-compatible files and conform to the following specifications:

• The format of the abstract file must be either MS Word (version 6.0 compatible), Word Perfect (version 6.0 or compatible), RTF, or WFM.

• The length of the abstract must be no longer than 6 pages, excluding figures.

• The paper format must be A4 (not 8 1/2 ´ 11 inches).

• The font must be no smaller than 10 pitch (12 point) characters and we suggest Times Roman.

• Specify the following margin settings: Left 30mm (1.25"), Right 30mm (1.25"), Top 25mm (1"), Bottom 25mm (1").

• The title must be centered and in ALL CAPS. Insert one (1) blank line between the title and author name(s) / address (es).

• Center and italicize the author name(s) and address(es). In the case of multiple authors, underline the name of the presenting author. Insert one blank line between the last author / address and the body of the extended abstract.

• Left justify and capitalize all section headings within the body of the abstract. Leave one blank line between the section heading and the first paragraph of the section.

• Indent each paragraph within the body of the extended abstract 15mm (1/2 inch).

• Graphics can be in either black & white or color and there is no limit to the number that can be used within an extended abstract. We strongly encourage you to embed the graphics in the extended abstract. However, graphics may be submitted separately in the following DOS / WINDOWS formats: TIFF, GIFF, or JPEG. All other formats will not be accepted.

• In order to facilitate tracing, please assign as a name to your extended abstract file, the abstract submission code that you were assigned when you submitted your short abstract (e.g. 00532.*), If you submit graphics files along with your text as separate files, please use the same naming convention and add F# to the end, indicating figure # (e.g. 00532F1, 00532F2, and so on). In the case of separate graphics graphics files, the figures will be appended to the end of the extended abstract text in order and on separate pages. Please DO NOT expect your separate graphics files to be embedded in your text at specific locations. If you require that, you must do it yourself and submit a single extended abstract file.

• Mail your extended abstract file(s) on a 3.5" floppy diskette or a ZIP disk and one (1) hard copy to :

Mark on the envelope the name of the presenting author and the short abstract submission code. Alternatively, you may bring your disc at the registration desk of the Workshop or e-mail your files as attached files to abstract.ws@procnus.nire.go.jp . In the case of e-mail, please also mail your hard copy to Dr. HARADA with the name of the presenting author and the short abstract submission code clearly marked on the envelope.
