What
is the difference between a contributed paper (CP) session and a Special
Session (SS)?
AMS Contributed Paper sessions consist of ten-minute talks contributed
to the AMS program by the authors (speakers), grouped by related subject
classifications into sessions by the AMS Associate Secretary responsible
for the scientific program.
MAA
Contributed Paper sessions consist of (usually) ten- or fifteen-minute
talks organized by mathematicians on specific topics. The selection process
is detailed below in "How do I submit an abstract for talks in the
MAA sessions?"
AMS
Special Sessions consist of talks (usually of twenty minutes' duration)
organized by mathematicians on specific topics. It may be that all available
places within a Special Session are taken by invitation; however, contributions
can sometimes be accommodated. These are known as abstracts for consideration
in Special Sessions and must be submitted by August 6, 2002. Any
contribution that cannot be accommodated in a Special Session will be
considered for presentation in an AMS Contributed Paper session if the
author so indicates.
