Sunday, April 21

Participants, arriving in Moscow by plane, are asked to submit their times of arrival and departure including flight numbers. They will be met in SVO in the center of the arrival hall near the board with information on arriving flights.

Accomodation for the registered participants will be reserved in the hotel Dubna, again.

Our participants from Russia and former Soviet Republics, who are supposed to get some money from the Organizing Committee and/or whose travel is supposed to be paid for, should bring letters from their Institutes saying that their Institutes did not pay them. Our buhgalteria asks for such letters.

• One printed version of the paper including the figures;
• A discette or CD with the Latexfile of the manuscript and *.pcx-, *.gif-, *.ps- or *.eps - files of the figures.

It is expected that most of the papers will be submitted during the workshop. The deadline for submitting contributions is April 28, 2002.
