Abstract Submission

Only original papers related to the conference topics and not published elsewhere will be accepted. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be presented at the conference in oral parallel sessions or in poster sessions. The presentation format will be determined following the submission of the final version of the paper and will depend on the preference of the author, the recommendations of the reviewers, registration status, and the opinion of the Scientific Executive Committee.

Each registration entitles the author to submit a single paper. One additional paper per registration is allowed against a special fee.
