WARNING - TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER CONSIDERATIONS
Prospective authors are reminded that technology transfer guidelines have substantially extended the time required for the review of abstracts and completed papers by private enterprises and government agencies. These reviews can require four months or more. It is the responsibility of the authors to determine the extent of approval necessary for their papers to preclude late submissions and paper withdrawals.
