All abstracts submitted by post or fax should be accompanied by an abstract submission form. Please refer to the Abstract Submission page for the electronic submission form and further instructions.

The conference has a strict "No Paper - No Podium" rule (i.e. conference presentations can only be made if they have a corresponding accepted paper in the proceedings).

Only TWO contributed papers will be allowed for each conference participant. If you wish to submit more than two papers, you must register a co-author.

After acceptance of your abstract, you may prepare the full length paper for publication in the Conference Proceedings. Instructions on formatting your paper and how to send it to the Conference Editors can be found on the Paper Submission page. Please follow the instructions on this page carefully.
