Call for Abstracts

Presentation Types

1. Oral Presentation
   Each oral presentation will be for a total of 15 minutes (including 5 minutes for questions).
2. Poster Presentation
   Posters are a display presentation. One presenter should be available at their poster during breaks to give a brief description of their poster and answer questions.

Both presentation types apply common Submission Guidelines. Authors will be prompted to indicate their preferred presentation type during the submission process. Authors of accepted papers may be offered an alternate presentation type based on reviewer and Program Committee discretion of appropriateness and program availability.
