Figures may be color (for web viewing), but make sure they are reasonably viewed when printed in black and white (as they will be in the program).

If accepted, your abstract will appear in the program booklet and the online proceedings as submitted. Please, double-check it for errors!
Please contact the Program Chair with questions.
Abstract Evaluation
Submitted abstracts will be evaluated by members of the Program Committee, listed below. Evaluations are based on four criteria: (1) topic relevance; (2) novelty/originality; (3) significance; (4) clarity.
Approximately 20 of the top abstracts will be chosen for oral presentation, based on considerations of program quality and balance.
We anticipate that a relatively small proportion of abstracts (~10%) will be rejected. The remainder will be scheduled for poster presentation.
