Please be patient and give our Web Manager time to post it before you ask us where it is!! BUT, I know you want to know what's been accepted, and when your paper will be given. That information follows. Note that there will be no respondent, so that we may maximize discussion. I'd like the people on panels with 4-5 papers to spend NO MORE than 8-9 minutes describing your work so that we can spend more time discussing it. Further, note that the panel I'm moderating has 6 papers on it....I'd like each of you to take no more than 6-7 minutes describing your work. I've done something like this at NCA, with people having even less time -- 5 minutes -- and it works very well -- it makes the delivery of the paper more casual and less "reading" (which, let's face it, is boring!!!!), and it gives us good time to engage in conversation with each other. I'm sending you a formal acceptance letter in the mail, but I couldn't start working on it until I finished the BEA program. So give me a bit of time on that front. The attached document contains all the information presented below, but formatted more nicely. Thanks again for your good efforts on the part of BEA, and I look forward to hearing about your interesting research.
