Dear Shankara Sharmah

Thank you very much for the information.
I would like to participate and present papers.
When I write posts, I cant go deeper in to a particular aspect, because it would be of no interest to laymen.
The workshop will give me enough time and space for my research papers in certain areas.
I will keep in touch with the people concerned.
Once again, thanks.
