 			what is a FastAbstract ?
			------------------------
A FastAbstract is a lightly reviewed, two page technical article that 
is published and includes a short talk at the conference. The goal is
to promote current work, research, practices, opinions, experiences, 
and issues. This is an early communication of technical work and does
not always require completed results like that of a journal publication.
Accepted contributions are published in a digest form in addition to 
being web published. 

For details on the submission requirements (a sample is provided) and
