and will be considered for acceptance either as oral presentation or poster at the Rome Forum.

 Notification of Acceptance will be made by January 15 1999.

 Abstracts accepted by the Program Committee and key-note speakers contributions should be submitted to Nanotechnology by March 31 1999 as full length papers to be grouped together as a special feature section of a regular issue of the journal.
Upon letter of acceptence by the Forum Co-chairs, papers must be submitted directly to the publishing office of Nanotechnology in Bristol (UK) and the Editor Ian Russel will amminister them from there through a regular peer-review.

 Authors are encouraged to make preprints of their papers available on the web (using this template). The Forum web page will provide a link.
