Abstracts of contributed papers should be submitted via the Abstract
On-line Submission Form available at http://www.on.br/acm2005/.
THE DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS MAY 15th.
NOTE: Authors submitting contributions on observation and/or analysis of
the Deep Impact event must send a preliminary abstract by the above
deadline. However, it will be admitted the submission of a revised
abstract after the Deep Impact event has occurred. The Contact Author of
this type of contribution will be informed by mid June about the
deadline for submission of the revised abstract.
