  Leonardo Abstracts Service (LABS)
  Next submission deadline: 15 June 2006

  Leonardo Abstracts Service (LABS), consisting of the English LABS 
database and Spanish LABS database, is a comprehensive collection of 
Ph.D., Masters and MFA thesis abstracts on topics in the emerging 
intersection between art, science and technology. Individuals 
receiving advanced degrees in the arts (visual, sound, performance, 
text), computer sciences, the sciences and/or technology that in some 
way investigate philosophical, historical or critical applications of 
science or technology to the arts are invited to submit abstracts of 
their theses for consideration.

  The English LABS and Spanish LABS international peer review panels 
review abstracts for inclusion in their respective databases. The 
databases include only approved and filed thesis abstracts. Abstracts 
of theses filed in prior years may also be submitted for inclusion.

  In addition to publication in the databases, a selection of 
abstracts chosen by the panels for their special relevance will be 
published quarterly in Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA), and authors 
of abstracts most highly ranked by the panel will also be invited to 
submit an article for publication consideration in the journal 
Leonardo.
