Wagner (Karlsruhe) SUBMISSIONS *********** Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper with at most 12 pages (LNCS style or similar - e.g. LaTeX article style, 11pt a4paper). The title page must contain a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above. The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at their discretion. Submissions deviating from these guidelines risk rejection. Electronic submissions should be formatted in PostScript or PDF. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Further details can be found on the submission page. Please follow the instructions given there. In case of problems please contact the organisers. PROCEEDINGS *********** Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the symposium (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag). With their submission authors consent to sign the copyright form of Springer-Verlag if their paper is accepted. IMPORTANT DATES *************** Deadline for submission: September 17, 2006 Notification to authors: November 22, 2006 Final version: December 15, 2006 Symposium: February 22-24, 2007 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ******************** W.
