Re[2]: DAC Session

Text item:

Paul,

I noticed you only copied me on your reply. Since it is of
general interest, I've posted it to the reflector.

I don't think we should think of it probabilistically like this.
IF we arrange a session and IF the papers are of a high quality
then you are not likely to be wasting your time.

The 3 in 4 rejection
includes all the `another dull paper on an increment in DFT only
of interest to other DFT academics' rejects.
We do not need to submit 12 papers.

How can you tell if a paper is of a `high quality'. Would you
want to take valuable time from the floor-show to go to it?
... as good a criteria as any.

I would be happy to help judge candidate outlines though I do
not claim any particularly great insights on acceptability.

Regards,

Paul
