Call for Sessions Workshops and Minisymposia: We invite proposals for Sessions, Workshops or Minisymposia. Each session should have at least 8 paper presentations. For this session the organiser or his team can have at most 2 papers. Each workshop or minisymposium should have at least 10 paper presentations. For this workshop or minisymposium the organiser or his team can have at most 2 papers. The Session, Workshop or Minisymposium organizer will be responsible for advertising the workshop, reviewing and selecting the papers. The Session organisers will have free registration in ICNAAM 2008. The Workshop or Minisymposium organizers will have free registration and a participation in the Accommodation. Papers accepted for Sessions, Workshops or Minisymposia will be published in the Proceedings of ICNAAM 2008. After the Conference the papers presented at the Sessions, workshops or Minisymposia will be considered for publication in the appropriate journals. Proposals to organize Sessions, Workshops or Minisymposia should include the following information: Title of the workshop; name, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address of the proposer(s); description of the topic of the session (not exceeding 100 words); a short description on how the session will be advertised.
