BACKGROUND

    Last December we held a successful meeting in Shenzhen.  This year
    we are moving to Shanghai another special economic zone in the
    Peoples Republic of China with many high technology companies
    and many development and sales offices of foreign companies.
    Many sites of interest are near the conference hotel.

    Our objective is to reach out internationally to communicate with
    the local experts and to learn of regional concerns.

CONFERENCE LANGUAGE

    The conference language is English, but we will plan for technical
    translations in English and Chinese.  So presenters can optionally
    deliver in Chinese as long as an English version of the material is
    available.

IBIS SUMMIT

    This meeting will be conducted as a formal IBIS Summit Meeting.
    Presentations will be archived in an electronic format on our
    Summits site, and minutes of the meeting will be issued.  However,
