Please use the form for abstract submittal. Following review of abstracts by the symposium technical committee, accepted authors will be notified by mail, and an author's kit for paper preparation will be provided. The Technical program committee will assign papers to the appropriate sessions. Since formal papers and supporting data will be published in the Symposium proceedings, presentations will be limited to 20 minutes, with 5 minutes for discussions. The official language of the symposium is English.
All papers are to follow the format provided in the author's kit.
Authors are responsible for all expenses incurred, including time spent, costs for preparation of manuscripts and illustrations, travel to the symposium and symposium registration fees. Presentations will only be allowed for those papers received in time for publication in the Proceedings. Accepted authors who fail to register at the symposium and present their paper will be billed for the cost of publishing the paper.
