Submissions
The conference contributions ara of various different types:
- Invited contributions (both Plenary and ordinary), delivered as a talk with duration of approx. 40 or 25 minutes
- Oral contributions, delivered as a talk with a duration of approx. 15 minutes
- Poster contributions
The talk durations may vary slightly per conference.
Abstract submission
Submissions of all abstracts (including Invited) and 4-page papers are currently handled by the Online Conference System.
Paper submission
Submissions of 4-page papers (corresponding to Oral and Poster contributions) are currently handled by the Online Conference System.
It should be noted that invited papers, with a length of 8 (orinary invited) or 12 (plenary invited) pages, are not submitted via the OCS system, but directly to the journal in which they will be published (PPCF).
Registration
Conference registration is handled 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
- The list of Invited Speakers
- The Conference program
- Important dates
- Instructions for authors
- Links to the submission system
- Links to the registration system
- Information on accommodation
- Information on local transport
