will take an active role in generating and joining the various
interests into appropriate formats.

Proposals can be for three types of contribution to the conference: -
papers, creative presentations, and panels.

Pre-Conference Workshops

Prior to the conference, there will be a limited number of
pre-conference workshops which will provide participants with
in-depth, hands-on and/or creative opportunities. We invite proposals
for these pre-conference workshops; local presenters are encouraged
to propose workshops that will invite visiting researchers into their
labs or studios or locales.

Graduate Students:

Graduate students are strongly encouraged to submit proposals.

To ensure diverse participation, registration fees will be kept low
for presenters, and a billeting and room sharing system will be
established.  Simultaneous French language translation will be
available (subject to budgetary considerations) in certain sessions.
