2. Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations: 
The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will be published in the conference's CD collection, together with the regular papers. Please send your presentations to sapir05@iaria.org.



3. Tutorials:
Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals can be half or full day tutorials. Please send half or full day tutorial proposals to sapir05@iaria.org.

4. Panels:
Proposals on controversial and challenging topics are expected. Send proposals to sapir05@iaria.org. 


INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received papers will be acknowledged. The
files should be sent via http://193.136.94.101/sapir2005/submission.html. Please use the suggested
subtopics listed in the Call for Papers on the conference site as keywords for your submission.
Tutorial submission should provide overviews of current industrial and research hot topics.

- The SAPIR 2005 Proceedings will be published by LNCS Springer-Verlag.
