Student papers are limited to three double column pages.  Information on formatting dimensions ( .pdf | .doc ) and author guidelines ( .pdf | .doc ) are available.   Before your paper can appear, you must send us a copyright form ( .pdf | .doc ).   (If you have problems downloading the .doc files, try right-clicking on the .doc link and then choose menu Save Link As (Netscape Navigator) or Save Target As (MS Internet Explorer) to save the file to your local disk.)

Please name your file something very likely to be unique and recognizable; we suggest a concatenation of the first author's last name, organizational abbreviation, and a key word from the title; e.g., "jones-cmu-checkpoint.pdf" or "kim-laas-modeling.pdf".
