PAPER SUBMISSION
================

Prospective authors are invited to contribute to the conference by
electronically submitting a full paper in English of no more than 8
pages including illustrations, results and references (Submissions can
be made at http://www.prip.tuwien.ac.at/dagm05/submission). It will be
possible to publish also papers longer than 8 pages, however, an extra
page fee will apply. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three
members of the programm commitee. The contributions to DAGM05 will be
published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) of
Springer-Verlag Heidelberg. Therefore, submissions should be in
postcript or pdf, formatted in accordance with the lncs guidelines by
Springer (see http://www.springeronline.com). For submission the
manuscript should not contain author's name and affiliation for double
blind reviewing. In addition to the manuscript, the submission should
include a summary page with title, author's name, affiliation and
address, telephone, fax and e-mail, up to three keywords and answers
to the following questions (please answer each separately):

1. What is the original contribution of this work?
2. Why should this contribution be considered important?
3. What is the most closely related work by others and how does this
    work differ?
4. How can other researchers make use of the results of this work?
5. Has this work been presented/submitted elsewhere?
6. Which form of presentation is preferred: Oral or Poster?


TUTORIALS PROPOSALS
===================

Tutorials will be held on Wednesday, August 30, 2005. Proposals for
tutorials must include a title, an outline of the tutorial and its
motivation, contact information for the presenter, and a short
