Work-In-Progress Reports (WIPs)
Thursday, January 29 3:30pm-5:00pm
Submission deadline: January 15, 1998

The Works-in-Progress session will consist of five minute presentations. Speakers should submit a one or two paragraph abstract to sec98wips@usenix.org by January 15. Please include your name, affiliation, and the title of your talk. This is a change from the original instructions in the Call for Papers. A schedule of presentations will be posted at the conference by Noon on January 29. Experience has shown that most submissions are usually accepted. The five-minute time limit will be strictly enforced.
