Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit full papers in PDF format via the web site:
http://nolta07.is.tokushima-u.ac.jp/
Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Corresponding authors of accepted papers
will be requested to submit a 4-page final paper for the symposium proceedings. At least
one author of each paper must register for the symposium by July 10, 2007 for the paper
to be included in the program. Questions concerning paper submissions should be sent
to:NOLTA2007 Secretariat

Email: nolta07@is.tokushima-u.ac.jp

Special Sessions

NOLTA2007 welcomes proposals for special sessions. Proposals will be evaluated basedon the timeliness and the scientific quality of the topic. Notification of acceptance will
be sent to the organizers by June 8, 2007. Please submit proposals via email by April 20,
2007 to:Dr. Gabriele Manganaro
Dr. Takashi Hisakado

WIP Sessions

NOLTA2007 organizes the WIP (Work-In-Progress) sessions, introduced at NOLTA2006. WIP sessions are devoted to oral presentationsof new and ongoing research in nonlinear science and technology. The primary purpose of the WIP sessions is to provide young researchers, especially graduate students, with an opportunity to discuss evolving ideas with NOLTA participants. The WIP session papers
will not undergo the same review procedure as regular papers. Evaluation of WIP papers will be based on timeliness, importance, and/oruniqueness (unconventionality) of considered problems and presented ideas.
