SUBMISSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS

Abstracts can be submitted now through the NETTAB 2005 Paper Review System 
availble at the workshop web site.

Abstracts will be reviewed by relevance and acceptance or   rejection will 
be communicated to authors.

POSITION PAPERS:
submit a short abstract (max 1 A4 pages in length, size 12pt, MS Word 
format) specifying research interests and issues to be debated during the 
workshop. Authors submitting position papers do not engage themselves to 
present a poster. Instead, they will be invited to introduce the issues 
they arose before open discussion sessions.

Contributions will be reviewed by the scientific committee for relevance, 
clarity and novelty of results.
