Deadlines — Abstracts still being accepted.
Multiple papers — A speaker may present either one general contributed or one invited paper (but not both). However, you may be coauthor on any number of papers.

The program chairperson and the editors reserve the right to edit abstracts, if necessary, for clarity, grammar, style, and length. Titles must be limited to 20 words or less. Titles exceeding the limit will be edited. Do not reference unpublished materials or past presentations for which papers are not easily obtained.

Abstract Preparation

Write your abstract in a word processing document, prior to copy and pasting into the abstract field below.
Do not include tables, graphics, or charts.
The standard Times New Roman font for text is recommended (12 point).
Set all text as flush left, and unjustified. Do not indent paragraphs and do not skip lines between paragraphs.
Use the Symbol font for special characters (Greek, scientific, mathematical, etc.). Do not use a third-party symbol font (e.g., Adobe Type Manager), since they may not convert properly.
Do not include the title in the abstract file. The title will be collected from the online form in the Title Section.
Do not include authors and affiliations in the abstract. This data will be collected from the online form in the Author Section.
The abstract text should not exceed 500 words. Most word processing programs have built-in word count utilities.
Please proofread carefully.
