Dear Participants, The deadline for submission of full paper for the GIS-IDEAS is nearing (*15*th July, 2002). We look forward to receiveing your papers before the deadline. One of the participants has kindly pointed out a mistake in the electronic version of the camera-ready kit. In "ILLUSTRATIONS" Section (Page 3, Line 3) of the electronic camera-ready kit, its is *mistakenly* mentioned "(15 pages maximum) " (Page 3, Line 4). We are very sorry about overlooking this mistake. I would like to *reconfirm* that the maxiimum page limit is *six* pages *only* as mentioned in my individual mail sent to all authors and as also mentioned in the GIS-IDEAS web-site (Paper Submission Link) http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/gisideas/ We are very sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause to the authors. Please bear with us, we had to enforce a page-limit because of our limited budget. Thank you, Raghavan -- --------------------------------------------------- Dr. Venkatesh Raghavan Co-cordinator GIS-IDEAS e-mail: raghavan@media.osaka-cu.ac.jp
