Please state if each speaker would like to deliver an individual paper or share in one single delivery session. </p> <p>* Delivery of papers must be in English, and last strictly a maximum of 15 minutes, followed by a 10-minute discussion with other participants. We aim to promote a fluid exchange of ideas rather than lecture-style presentations. Therefore, you will be expected to keep strictly to time regulations and follow the indications of the chairperson. </p> <p>* Regardless of any written work prepared specifically for the conference (which may lead to publication) we advise you to concentrate your ideas to make them fit in a 15-minute slot. You may use your allotted time at your discretion (including audio-visual material if you so wish), bearing in mind that we seek to stimulate interaction between participants later, so that the continuous reading of a self-referential written text, although perfectly acceptable, may not generate enough discussion. Resort to oral or improvised-like discourse should not, however, preclude intellectual rigour and coherence. </p> <p>* If you would like the original written version of your paper to be considered for publication as part of a book to be edited by the conference organizers, you will be asked to fill in a copyright form, and send a copy of your manuscript (no more than 4,000 words long) by October 31st 2007. Acceptance of papers for the conference does not guarantee publication. </p> </DIV></DIV> <DIV class=mainnav-container> <DIV class=mainnav-left style="width: 750px"> <UL> <LI><A title="Home" href="Index.htm">Home</A> <LI><A title="Conference Programme" href="Programme.htm">Programme</A> <LI><A title="Registration" href="Registration.htm">Registration</A> <LI><A title="Accommodation" href="Accommodation.htm">Accommodation</A> <LI><A title="Organizing Committee" href="Organization.htm">Organization</A> <LI><A title="Keynote Speakers" href="Speakers.htm">Speakers</A> <LI><A title="Call for Papers" href="Papers.htm">Papers</A> <LI><A title="Travel Planning" href="Travel.htm">Travel</A> </LI></UL></DIV> <DIV class=clear></DIV></DIV><!-- FOOTER --> <DIV id=footer-container> <DIV id=footer-left style="width: 452px"> <P>UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA SAN ANTONIO | Campus de los Jerónimos 30107 | Guadalupe-Murcia (Spain)<BR> <SPAN class=small-text>Webmaster: Carlos Periñán</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></BODY><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-1441892-1"; urchinTracker(); </script> </html>
