A reasonable balance in subjects and in regional representation will be part of the selection. Three best posters and computer demonstrations will be presented in a special plenary session. Besides scientific merit, this second selection focuses on the design of poster and computer demonstrations. Besides that we intend to enhance creativity, it goes without saying that certain standards of legibility should be kept. Authors in need of such assistance should indicate this in their submission letter.
