Please copy your presentation onto a USB flash or thumb drive or CD, and present it to your session moderator at least 15‐minutes prior to the start of your session. Please arrive to the meeting room adequately early (before the session begins) so that you have enough time to become familiar with the audiovisual equipment, and to introduce yourself to the moderator.
WRITTEN PAPERS
The meeting proceedings will be produced in electronic version, delivered on a USB thumb drive, and will include final written papers and poster abstracts. A book of abstracts will be printed. PowerPoint presentations will not be included in the proceedings. Below are some general guidelines for the written paper:<br />
1) Keep the text concise. Please submit no more than 6000 words and realize that shorter papers are welcome. Follow the main structure of a scientific paper: Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, Literature.
2) Focus on results rather than on methodology or literature review.
3) Provide the manuscript’s title and the name(s) and contact information of the author(s) at the beginning of the text file.
