Abstracts (upto 1,000 words) of proposed papers should be submitted as soon as possible but no later than the abstract submission date (see important dates below). Authors will be notified of acceptance by the conference editor. Final acceptance will be based upon review of the full length paper which must be received before the full paper deadline. Abstracts should be sent:

• by email to the special session organisers; or
• using the electronic submission form.

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.
