Contributed Papers

There were over 200 fifteen-minute contributed papers throughout the conference. The schedule of contributed talks is available here in the PDF format. The entire 144-page conference program, which includes the abstracts, is available here as a 540 kB PDF file.

Papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in special issues of the refereed journal Congressus Numerantium. In preparing the paper, it is assumed that word processing software (LaTeX, Word, etc.) is used. The paper should be in camera-ready form, justified on both sides and EXACTLY filling a box of dimensions 4.5 by 7.125 inches. The paper should be prepared in 10-point Times (or similar font); use single spacing for straight text, and do not set off single symbols; all diagrams should be in black ink; labels should be typed, not hand-written. TWO COPIES of the paper should be submitted by May 15, 2001 to:

Dr. J. L. Allston
Utilitas Mathematica Publishing, Inc.
Box 7, 107 Helen Glass Building
University of Manitoba
Winnipeg, Canada R3T 2N2
