If you have an interest in participating, please complete the abstract submission and attach a short one-page abstract of your paper, and fax, e-mail, or mail to the SMTA.

Abstracts should offer non-commercial, user-oriented solutions in any of the disciplines in electronic packaging or manufacturing. Papers will be accepted based on the submitted abstract and the judgment of the conference co-chairs. Previously presented papers, papers not complying with the publication guidelines, and papers that describe or promote a company or company's products will not be accepted. Since the paper selection process is competitive, clearly describe your work, explain its significance and what is new, highlight novel features, provide supporting data and include practical result/conclusions and references to prior work. Authors will be notified of their acceptance, and publication guidelines will be provided. A copy of the manuscript (including a computer disk) must be received no later than 18 September 2000.

Mail, fax or e-mail a one page abstract, including a brief biography, no later than 16 June to: Carla Heckathorne, SMTA 5200 Willson Road, Suite 215, Edina, MN 55424-1343. Tel: +1 952-920-7682; Fax: 952-926-1819; E-mail: carla@smta.org www.smta.org
