Individual Papers and Posters

Abstracts can be submitted for Individual Papers (15-minute presentations) and Posters. Each presenting author may submit one Abstract for an Individual Paper and one Abstract for a Poster. Please note that if there is insufficient room or not an appropriate topic area for a submitted Individual Paper, that Paper may be accepted as a Poster. Abstracts for Individual Papers and Posters must be received by October 1, 2010.

Research Symposium

In addition to an Individual Paper and/or Poster, Presenting Authors may also submit a proposal as part of a Research Symposium.  A complete Research Symposium should be submitted at one time by a Symposium Organizer.  Each proposal for a Research Symposium must consist of an overall Abstract (50 words maximum) as well as Abstracts (300 words maximum) from each participant (Presenting Authors).  All Abstracts from symposium participants must have been reviewed and approved by the Symposium Organizer. All abstracts must be submitted together by the Symposium Organizer. 

Each symposium will consist of a group of 3 – 4 papers on a common topic or theme in a high priority research area and will be scheduled for 1 to 1-1/2 hours.  Proposals for Research Symposia must be submitted by October 1, 2010.
