ABSTRACT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION GUIDE ABSTRACT PREPARATION Prospective authors should submit an extended abstract of 3 to 4 pages in length, including figures, tables and references. Shorter submissions may be automatically rejected. The extended abstract should summarize the scope of the paper and the primary results and findings, emphasizing new advances, theories and/or applications so that the program committee will be able to understand the originality and the value of the work. The extended abstract must be formatted as follows:
The recommended structure of the extended abstract is as follows:
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION Authors should submit their abstracts by email by following very carefully ALL of the following steps (failing to comply with these instructions may result in lost submissions):
IMPORTANT! Submission of abstracts implies the author’s willingness to register for the conference and present the paper(s). An accepted paper will be published in the proceedings only if the final version is accompanied by the registration form(s) and fee(s) for at least one of the authors (only full member or non-member fees will be allowed for this purpose) - no exceptions! One author registration will guarantee publication of up to two accepted papers; each additionally accepted paper associated with the same registration will be subject to a mandatory printing contribution of 50 US$. SUBMISSION ACKNOWLEDGMENT When a submission is complete and has been properly received, the secretariat will assign a paper identification number and will acknowledge the receipt by email to the contact author only. The paper identification number will be used to identify the abstract and, if accepted, the final paper in every further communication. The list of received abstracts will be periodically posted on this page. If you forget the paper identification number of your paper, you will be able to retrieve it from this page. The secretariat will contact directly the contact author by email if any correction is necessary. Checking the submission, assigning a number and sending a confirmation to the contact author may take a few days, especially at the time of the submission deadline. Please, wait at least four working days after having submitted an extended abstract before checking the web site or contacting the conference secretariat for information about the status of your submission. DO NOT contact the Conference Chair or the Program Chairs for information about the status of a submission. PROBLEMS IN PREPARING AND SUBMITTING YOUR EXTENDED ABSTRACT? FURTHER INFORMATION?
