Although the suggested date has passed for paper submissions, there are
still a handful of slot spaces, and I'd encourage anybody who would be
interested in presenting a paper to submit an abstract anyway.

Workshop: The conference will be preceded by a workshop. If you would
like to offer a workshop that might interest our target audience, please

a paper for consideration by the programme committee. There will be a
prize for the best talk.
