Abstract Classification

Prior Publication Statement

Please submit abstracts only if they contain significantly novel material. If the subject matter in the abstract appears in print or on the Internet before the abstract submission deadline (April 15), it will be rejected.

Abstract classification

Authors are invited to submit abstracts in any one of the categories listed below.

The main criteria in evaluation of your abstract will be its "novelty/innovation" and its "impact/relevance to the field". Those criteria will be rated by leading experts within the listed categories. If your abstract fits into more than one category, please think about where it contributes most regarding the criteria of "novelty/innovation" and "impact/relevance". Finally select your first and second priority category accordingly.
