SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

The response to the invitation to present papers at the Symposium has been overwhelming and a very large number of papers have been received. It has been decided to limit the presentation of contributed papers to 10 minutes, and to lump discussions of similar papers into time slots that will be determined by the number of papers. We will try to avoid concurrent sessions.

The six-day Symposium will cover the following topics:
