Online Proceedings

All of the papers presented at the conference are available here online. Several papers are only available in PostScript format; they are prepended with . To save space, these are stored in gzipped format. Most unix systems should be able to uncompress file paper.ps.gz with the command gzip -d paper.ps.gz. For Windows, OS/2, and DOS users, try the WinZip tool. Elli Mylonas has summarized many of the panel discussions; this is available at her web site.
