Abstract submission is now available. Abstracts can only be submitted via the conference website. Abstracts sent by mail, FAX or email will not be accepted.
The deadline for abstract submission is April 27, 2012.
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed for oral presentations or poster presentations and should be prepared by following the instructions listed below.
- An individual may submit only one abstract and may present only one paper at the conference, but may re-appear as a co-author of papers submitted by others.
- The presenting author must complete a pre-registration for the conference before submitting an abstract.
- Abstracts must be prepared in English. The body of abstract should not exceed 600 words in length. The title of presentation must be limited to 20 words. No chart and graphics should be included in the abstract.
- When submitting your abstract, please follow the guidelines given on the abstract submission form. Abstracts will be published as submitted; thus, any error that appears in the submitted abstract will appear in the published abstract.
- Once your abstract has been successfully submitted, you will receive a confirmation by email. You can modify your abstract on-line until April 27, 2012 by logging in with your ID and password.
- Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the Program Committee.
- Each presenting author will be notified by e-mail at the end of June 2012 whether his/her abstract has been accepted for presentation or not.

A written request for the refund must be received by the conference secretariat by August 20, 2012.
- All the accepted abstracts will be published on the conference website in July, 2012. The exact date of the papers opened to the public will be announced on this website. They will also appear in the electronic materials (USB or CD) distributed at the conference.
