The scientific program will consist of invited oral, contributed oral, and poster presentations. All contributed papers are to be submitted presuming poster presentation. From these the Scientific Program Committee (SPC) will decide, on the basis of the abstracts, which papers are suitable for oral presentation.

Since no contributions are accepted for publication only, any work accepted for presentation which is not presented at the conference will be excluded from the proceedings. Furthermore, the SPC reserves the right to refuse for publication any work not properly presented in the poster sessions.

In order to maintain a high standard of proceedings and to keep them to a reasonable size, authors are reminded that only novel, original work should be submitted. Papers that have been published elsewhere will be rejected. Authors of more than one paper are invited to consider whether these contributions could be combined into a single paper, with due reference to other publications or internal notes.
