Assessment
Papers will be selected on the basis of the content of the abstract. The Abstract should be a self-contained description of the contribution of the paper and why it would be of interest to conference attendees. Abstracts will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee and the session organizers. Notification of acceptance will be sent by e-mail on March 15, 2008.
At least one author listed on an abstract should be a registered conference participant to assure that the abstract appears in the Conference Record - Abstract Book. The presenter of an oral talk or poster must be a registered conference participant and any given presenter cannot present more than three papers (including oral talks and posters) during the conference. Where possible, oral/poster preferences and special placement requests will be honored. However, the session organizers and the Technical Program Committee retain the final authority for oral/poster placement and the order of papers in the sessions.
