Note from the Editors
We are very pleased that many of you have contributed to the Newsletter by submitting two-page extended abstracts. We believe these abstracts are an important part of the MAP Newsletter, and will also be encouraged in future issues. However, as a result of the large number of submitted abstracts, we will no longer be able to do the layout for you, but kindly ask you to submit extended two-page abstracts in camera-ready format only. Please use one of the templates provided at the MAP Data Centre (currently available for MS Word, Latex and FrameMaker).
