Dear Colleagues if you are interested in presenting a paper at the 1998 AAIS Conference please choose from the following list of sessions and submit a title to the organizer of the session as soon as possible, but not later than 28 November 1996, and only after you know that you will be able to attend the conference. With the title send a 300-word abstract. Include your complete address with office and home telephone numbers. According to AAIS norms, every participant may present one paper and also conduct another official function, such as chairing a session. Organizing a session is not considered an official function. Organizers of sessions will be recognized as such in the Convention program.

Every session will last 90 minutes. The organizer/chair of the session should reserve 15 minutes, either between or after the papers, for a general discussion period. If the organizer accepts four papers, your reading time is 15 minutes. If the organizer accepts three papers, your reading time is 20 minutes. In both cases, the audience will have about 15 minutes to discuss with the panel the papers presented.
