Abstract: Suppose that $C=(C_1,\mathrm{...},C_m)$ is a configuration of 2-dimensional symplectic submanifolds in a symplectic 4-manifold $(X,omega)$ with connected, negative definite intersection graph $Gamm{a}_C$. We show that by replacing an appropriate neighborhood of $cup{C}_i$ with a smoothing $W_S$ of a normal surface singularity $(S,0)$ with resolution graph $Gamm{a}_C$, the resulting 4-manifold admits a symplectic structure. This operation generalizes the rational blow-down operation of Fintushel-Stern for other configurations, and therefore extends Symington's result about symplectic rational blow-downs.
