> Dear colleague,
> 
> thank you very much for your interest in COMPSTAT 2004 Symposium. This
> is to remind you that the deadline for delivering your manuscript in
> electronic form to the hands of the editors is approaching very fast.
> 
> Due to a series of question to us concerning the selection of papers
> for proceedings, we repeat (especially for those who participated to
> the previous COMPSTAT's) that the choice will be done based on
> complete papers and not on abstracts as in the past.
> 
> Submission of Papers for inclusion in the Proceedings Volume (subject
> to selection by SPC) is February 2, 2004 !!! For details see:

> LOC + editors
> 
> Please, forgive us if you have received this e-mail more than ones due

> PS Most frequently asked questions.
> 
> 1) I HAVE PARTICIPATED TO SEVERAL PREVIOUS COMPSTAT SYMPOSIA. WHAT IS
>    THE MOST IMPORTANT ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE?
> 
>    During the previous COMPSTAT's the selection of papers and their
>    division as short and standard contributed papers has been based on
>    the submitted two page long abstract. This scheme has been
>    abandoned for COMPSTAT 2004. Instead, the participants are asked to
>    submit the full papers (up to 8 pages) not just an abstract. The
>    SPC will make a selection of the best of these for inclusion in the
>    published Proceedings Volume. These will be reviewed and subject to
>    revision before publication. The other papers that are deemed to be
>    acceptable will be, after reviewing, included on a CD that will
>    form the integral part of the Proceedings Volume. The time given
>    for the presentation may reflect the status of the paper as
>    assessed by the SPC - the allocation will depend on the time
>    pressures in putting together the final programme. In the case that
>    it will not be possible to schedule all oral contributions, SPC has
>    the right to only offer a poster presentation to some of them.
> 
> 2) WHY SHOULD I SUBMIT ALSO THE ABSTRACT IF MY PAPER WILL BE AVAILABLE
>    DURING THE SYMPOSIUM?
> 
>    The abstracts should inform the participants about the content of
>    his/her lecture. All abstract will be included in the Abstracts
>    Volume produced by the LOC, distributed during the symposium and
>    mounted before the symposium on its web page. Notice also that not
>    all people have with them always a notebook to check abstracts on
>    the CD. Both SPC and LOC hope it will be more easy for the
>    participants to orient oneself and to chose the session where to
>    go. Latest day for the authors by which abstracts of submitted
>    contributions and invited papers must be delivered to the LOC in
>    Prague in electronic format is May 1, 2004!!!
> 
> 3) WHAT IS THE LATEST DAY FOR DELIVERING MANUSCRIPTS?
> 
>    Latest day for the authors by which complete manuscripts of
>    submitted contributions and invited papers must be delivered to the
>    LOC in Prague in electronic format is February 2, 2004!!!
