FIRST CIRCULAR
Rosario, November 20, 1999.

Symposium Place and Date: Rosario City, Argentina, October 18, 19 & 20, year 2000.

Sessions

      The program will include oral sessions and panel expositions (posters). Each author must indicate his preference (conference or panel), having in account that each communication medium can be more effective than the other, according to the content of the presentation. The organizers will try to do the best for observing the authors wishes, but in some cases they must be obliged to make changes in the type of presentation. In order to satisfy a maximum of contributors, the number of panels will probably exceed the quantity of oral presentations.

      The oral presentations will last 15 minutes each one, plus 5 minutes for discussion. Considering that these presentations reach a great number of auditors, will be adequate for synthesis or debate themes. One oral presentation –maximum- is allowed to each participant.
