IMPORTANT NOTE

APRICOT is a TECHNICAL conference.
The program committee is charged with maintaining the technical standard
of APRICOT, and will therefore not accept inappropriate materials.
It is the expectation of both the selection committee and the audience
that the presenter be a technical professional not a marketing or sales
person.

TUTORIALS

Tutorials are full-day workshops (4 sessions of 90 min. in length) which
focus on a particular subject in-depth. They may be presented by a
single Instructor, or a team of instructors working together. You can
propose a tutorial by completing the online form at
http://www.2005.apricot.net/cfp.html

TECHNICAL CONFERENCE SESSIONS

The APRICOT Technical Conference Schedule is made up of 1.5 hour
conference sessions, each including up to 3 speakers (therefore
allowing 20-30 minutes per speaker). Sessions are chaired by persons of
appropriate expertise in the subject matter of the session, and will
include ample time for questions from the audience. If you would like to
propose a presentation, complete the online form at
http://www.2005.apricot.net/cfp.html

FUNDING AND SUPPORT

Only in exceptional circumstances of hardship will APRICOT be able to
