Submissions

Submissions of abstracts and 4-page papers are currently handled by the Online Conference System. It should be noted that invited papers are not submitted via the OCS system, but directly to the journal in which they will be published (PPCF).

Registration

Conference registration is handles independently from the submission of abstracts and papers. However, it may be convenient to have registrants provide their 'Conference ID', i.e., the conference code of their abstract. That will allow checking whether all abstract submitters will actually attend the conference.

Local Conference Organization

The LOC provides a website with information for conference participants. It should contain, at least:

  • The list of Committee Members
  • Important dates
  • Instructions for authors
  • Links to the submission system
  • Links to the registration system
  • Information on accommodation
  • Information on local transport
