Warning: This page is intended to be displayed with Cascading Style Sheets. You are either using a browser that doesn't support style sheets, or have them turned off.

These pages should work fine regardless, but won't be as attractive as if you had a style sheet enabled browser.

Below are links to all the electronic talks presented at SOHO 15. Please click on the talk title to view/download the talk. An indication of file size is given.

All the talks are in PDF format (except 1 html talk). Powerpoint files have been converted to pdf for the following reasons (1) pdf files are generally smaller than powerpoint files so transfer quicker, (2) pdf files can be viewed on more platforms (e.g., linux etc), (3) pdf files offer a bit more protection of the authors work. Note, movies have not been included with these pdfs.
