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.
