1. Abstract Submission

Authors are asked, in order to allow a fair review process, to submit well elaborated extended abstracts of 2 - 4 pages not later than February 1, 2016.

In order to allow a fair review process authors are asked to follow the instructions for preparing contributions:

  1. Extended abstracts should discuss the following areas:
    • the R&D or application idea
    • the state of the art in this area (other projects, publications, ...)
    • the methodology used
    • the R&D work and results
    • the scientific and practical impact or contributions to the field
    • conclusion and planned activities
  2. Extended abstracts summarize the R&D or application work
    • Length: 2 to 4 pages (DIN A4)
    • Font: Times
    • Font size: 12pt, single space
    • Margin: 2cm (top/bottom/left/right margin)

To submit your contribution, log in (or register if you do not have an account yet) and go to the extended abstract upload form. The system facilitates the document uploading (pdf, doc) and later on feedback on review, upload of camera-ready version and registration (one stop shop).

Based on the review results the conference chairs will accept contributions as full or short papers or rejected them. This might overrule categories a contributor has selected when submitting an abstract.
