presenting one poster at the meeting. **Please Note: maximum poster
dimensions are 4 feet x 4 feet.**

**Workshop Abstracts:**

Abstracts are requested for all invited talks and poster presentations.
All abstracts will be compiled into a booklet that will be distributed
at the workshop. The deadline for abstract submission is April 25, 2004.
Submit abstracts by email to Jim Anderson (ander319@umn.edu) in either a
MS Word or RTF format. Please adhere to the following formatting
guidelines when preparing abstracts:

Use US letter (8.5 x 11 inch) paper, single-spaced, single column, with
1 inch (2.54 cm) margins (top/bottom and sides). Using Times New Roman
12 point font, with abstract text left and right justified. The entire
abstract and accompanying information must fit on one side of one page.
Each submission should include:

1\. Title (all capital letters and centered)

2\. Authors (centered)

3\. Organizational affiliation of authors, plus telephone and email
address of corresponding author (centered)

4\. Abstract
