Authors are expected to present their papers in person at the conference. If an author must be absent or withdraw a paper, the program chair must be notified well in advance.

Late News Papers will be considered between Feb. 9 and June 1, 2007.

To submit a Late News Paper, authors must visit the “EMC Conference” in CMS-Plus and select “Late News.” Formatting instructions noted previously apply.
