Dear Sir/Madam,


On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to express my deepest appreciation for your cooperation for the Conference and also would like to confirm the followings as the preparation for the conference progresses:

1. Program: The major program contents will be uploaded to our web site (http://plaza.snu.ac.kr/~altai) in early August 2002. Therefore please visit the web site and at what time you are scheduled to read paper.

2. Publication of Proceedings: We are planning to collect all the manuscripts in advance and publish them in one volume for distribution on the first day of the conference. Accordingly, all papers must be received before September 20 at the latest by email, as an attachment in MS Word format. As there is no time for proofreading, please send a hard copy of paper with your e-mail attached file. If you used special font(for example IPA symbols), please send us font file also. 

To accommodate speedy publication we therefore ask that all papers follow a unified guideline:
Amount: 10-15 pages A4; Time: aiming for 25 minutes.

Margins: MS Word standard settings
Page numbers; Bottom, center
