Our intentions are to publish a book with the best selection of papers accepted. Authors (For Conference Oral Sessions) One copy of the Extended Summary (not exceeding four pages of 8.5 inch by 11 inch size) must be received by Mark Larson at the IAFE by December 14, 1997. Centered at the top of the first page should be the paper's complete title, author name(s), affiliation(s), and mailing addresses(es). Fonts no smaller than 10 pt should be used. Papers must report original work that has not been published previously, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. In the letter accompanying the submission, the following information should be included: * Topic(s) * Full title of paper * Corresponding Author's name * Mailing address * Telephone and fax * E-mail (if available) * Presenter (If different from corresponding author, please provide name, mailing address, etc.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Sessions A limited number of special sessions will address subjects within the topical scope of the conference. Each special session will consist of from four to six papers on a specific topic. Proposals for special sessions will be submitted by the session organizer and should include: * Topic(s) * Title of Special Session * Name, address, phone, fax, and email of the Session Organizer * List of paper titles with authors' names and addresses * One page of summaries of all papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Panel Proposals Proposals for panels addressing topics within the technical scope of the conference will be considered. Panel organizers should describe, in two pages or less, the objective of the panel and the topic(s) to be addressed. Panel sessions should be interactive with panel members and the audience and should not be a sequence of paper presentations by the panel members. The participants in the panel should be identified. No papers will be published from panel activities. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tutorial Proposals Proposals for tutorials addressing subjects within the topical scope of the conference will be considered. Proposals for tutorials should describe, in two pages or less, the objective of the tutorial and the topic(s) to be addressed. A detailed syllabus of the course contents should also be included. Most tutorials will be four hours, although proposals for longer tutorials will also be considered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exhibit Information Businesses with activities related to financial engineering, including software & hardware vendors, publishers and academic institutions, are invited to participate in CIFEr's exhibits. Further information about the exhibits can be obtained from the CIFEr Organizational Chair, Mark Larson. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Information Sponsors More information on registration and Sponsorship for CIFEr'98 the program will be provided as soon is being provided by the IAFE as it becomes available.
