Parallel Paper Presentations: An abstract of 800 words should be submitted through the CMS and should include a statement of the objective and significance of the proposed presentation, a description of methods and a discussion of results. Papers in the theoretical category should deal with models, concepts, and structures; papers in the generic category should present research results of broad applicability; and papers in the applied category should show how the demands of particular application areas shape the way generic research is translated into practical innovation. Please indicate to which Program Board your submission should be sent for review.

Tutorials: More than 20 half-day and full-day Tutorials will be offered at introductory, intermediate and advanced levels covering the entire spectrum of the topics of the Conference. An abstract of 300 words should be submitted though the CMS and include the objective, content, target audience, a biographical sketch of the presenter(s) and A/V requirements.
