Submission Details

Since PA EXPO97 focuses on the real-world benefits of technology,
preference will be given to papers describing fielded applications,
especially in the business arena. Also of interest are descriptions of
advanced prototypes, tools and techniques, and general survey papers which
indicate future directions.   Authors must clearly state whether the
systems described are in routine use, and discuss the criteria used for
assessing the performance of both fielded systems and advanced prototypes.
