Call for Proposals - Thank You

Hello Folks,
Firstly, thank you for the excellent response. Grateful thanks to everyone who submitted their paper proposals; I'm sorry, if I could not write to you all personally.

On the last day of submission (August 16, 2004), we received a surprising number of paper proposals. Some focused on the usual topics: Some paper proposals were prolific in both their imagination and number of entries. Many paper proposals were relevant and well-written. Some were too complicated, obvious, simplistic or simply good. Very soon, we hope to single out the prospects. Taking that into account, the winning paper proposals will be selected and presented at the STC India's 6th Annual Conference.

You will be intimated by September 15, 2004, if your proposal is selected for presentation.

Thanks to all entrants again,
Ramesh Aiyyangar

If you have any queries or need any further details, please write to aramesh@veritas.com
