CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

Submissions are invited for full or short papers (full papers up to 12
pages, short papers up to 6 pages), posters, demonstrations, panels,
tutorials and workshops.

Papers and panel discussions form part of the main conference.  Papers
will be included in the conference proceedings, to be published by
Springer in the LNCS series. The full text of papers is required at
initial submission stage.  Papers must be submitted electronically via
the submission web pages by April 5 2004 (submission system to be made
available from early March).  If accepted, camera-ready versions of
papers are required by June 11 2004.  It is expected that papers will be
presented at the conference by the/an author who must be registered as a
conference delegate.

Panel proposals should provide for a discussion forum on research,
advanced application or policy matters.

We also invite submissions for workshops and tutorials.  These may be
either full day or half day and will take place on either side of the
main conference with tutorials on 11 September and workshops on 16
September. Workshops should report on ongoing work, experiences, late
breaking results and advanced development areas and should allow
considerable time for discussion. Tutorials should present a single
topic and provide learning objectives for the expected participants.

Proposals for panels, workshops and tutorials should include an outline
of the relevance of the topic, an outline of the session, and details of
participating speakers. Submission deadline for panels, workshops and
tutorials - April 5 2004

There will be opportunity to present both posters and demonstrations
during a poster session and throughout the conference. Submission
deadline for posters and demonstrations - May 19 2004

All contributions must clearly demonstrate relevance to Digital
Libraries

Submission software will be made available from the conference web site
one month before the submission deadline.

Details on registration will be added to the website in the near future.
