Proceedings Search

Using this new facility you may search by any combination of paper title, author, meeting number and year through the complete 40+ year history of MFPT proceedings (some 2000 papers).  Type in a word or phrase from a paper title and/or type in the name of one of the authors (and/or the year and and/or meeting number) and hit 'Submit Query'.  The results are listed in chronological (meeting) order.  We aim to add abstracts in due course.
