2001 Convention Proceedings
The length of the Convention Proceedings preclude inclusion of complete papers in the printed or online versions of the Annual Meeting Program. Instead, brief abstracts provided by some of the authors are presented here. Each abstract includes the name and affiliation of the author. Individuals interested in a particular paper or papers may, after reviewing the abstract, contact the author(s) directly for a copy of the complete paper(s). We have not included any plenary session speeches, as none were available at time of publication. If available at a later date, they will be provided on request.
