Abstracts of all papers accepted by the Scientific Committee will be available on this website and included in the Conference CD and book of abstracts once registration fees have been received. Abstracts received after the deadline will not be included in the Conference CD or book of abstracts. Authors should indicate on the abstract submission form in which session (theme) they wish their abstract to be included. The Program Committee reserves the right to modify the classification of your contribution.

Some abstracts submitted for Poster presentation may be selected to be presented orally in sessions. If you specifically do not wish to present an oral contribution, please indicate so when submitting your paper.

Presenting author must be underlined. Affiliations are indicated with a superscript letter. Insert "and" between the last two authors (with no comma).
5. Author addresses should include the institute/affiliation, address, zip code, city and country, followed by the email address in parentheses, and preceded with superscript letters "a, b,..."
