1-2 pages in length including a 500 words abstract to be copied and pasted in
the 13th IAS 2014 website.<br>
Proposals from relevant communities that have not traditionally participated at
IAS are highly welcome as well as innovative ideas on structuring the events in
a way that will promote discussion among the participants. Priority will be
given to proposals that effectively address these issues.<br>
Organizers are encouraged to communicate early on with the IAS tutorials
co-chairs regarding the topic of their intended workshop so that
significant overlaps between events can be minimized.<br>
All decisions will be made and the proposers will be notified by March 1st,
2014.<br>
The Tutorial’s Proceedings will be copied in a CDROM (or usb drive) with ISBN
number and page numbers.<br>
We are looking forward to seeing you in Padova!<br>
