A full length manuscript of a contributed talk on this workshop should be sent to the organizer by the 15th </div><div class="">of September 2016 in order for Professor Williamson to read it before the workshop. </div><div class="">4. The chair of each session will provide a brief survey of the book (that session focuses on). </div><div class="">5. The organizing committee will try to find some well-known publisher to consider the possibility of publishing </div><div class="">a post-conference proceedings, provided this proposal is approved by Williamson. The details will be announced </div><div class="">when this proposal is also approved by the publisher. </div><div class="">6. A final remark: Professor Williamson has thoughtfully promised to offer young scholars in Taiwan, who contribute </div><div class="">papers to this workshop, a one-on-one tutorial/supervision to discuss their papers before the conference.
