[April 2008] POST-CONGRESS PUBLICATIONS We have just started the process of preparing the publication of the papers presented during the IVR Congress in Krakow.

If you are one of the Special Workshops organizers and you have not been contacted so far - PLEASE WRITE TO US (since it means we don't have your email or the one we have is wrong).

If you are a participant of Special Workshops, please contact your organizer / coordinator.

[December 2007] POST-CONGRESS UPDATE Because of some unpredicted problems it is still impossible to determine the deadline for sending the papers presented during working groups and intended to be published. Nonetheless, every participant who has delivered a presentation will be informed in the future about the requirements and the deadline (information will be provided here as well).

Please note that those of you who presented a paper in special workshops should inquire directly the workshops' organizers about the possibility of its publication.

Also, the papers of participants of special workshops and working group, on condition that they have agreed to that, will be available online in the form of secured .pdf files (possible to print). More details will be provided in due time.

The date of the next message is: March 2008.
