Abstract Submission

Instructions To Authors

Contributors are invited to submit abstracts on the conference topics as listed above. The abstracts should contain sufficient detail to allow the technical merit of the paper to be judged and assigned to the appropriate session. The Technical Program Committee will decide whether the paper will be presented at a technical session. Authors will be notified electronically of acceptance of papers by December 15, 2007.

 

An abstract book will be distributed at the conference registration desk.  

Content

Abstracts may cover technical accomplishments, but should represent information that has not been previously reported or published.

Abstract Format

The abstract should have no more than 250 words and should be structured using the following subheadings: Purpose, Methods and Materials, Results, and Conclusions. The abstract should reflect the content of the article and include the purpose of the study, the experimental design, the most important results, and an interpretation of the data, including the conclusion and any implications derived from the results.

 

Formatted abstracts may be uploaded in MS Word or PDF format. Please include special formatting (superscripts, subscripts, symbols, etc.) where appropriate.

How To Submit an Abstract for Review

ICRS-11 & RPSD 2008 will be using the MyReview web-based conference management system for abstract submission and review. 

You will be required to fill in a form with the abstract information as well as upload a formatted version of the abstract. The information on the form will be used during the review process. The uploaded file will be printed in the abstract book to be distributed at the conference registration desk.

The information on the form and the formatted version of the abstract should be the same. Simply, copy and paste the abstract text from your file into the text box. Do not be concerned about special formatting (superscripts, subscripts, symbols, etc.) in the text box.

You will be given a unique Paper ID and Password for each abstract submission. You will use this information to access the system if modifications to your submission are necessary.

1. Under the Authors menu on the Abstract Submission and Review page select "Submit an Abstract" to access the system. Fill in the form, attach your file and press the 'Submit' button. Be sure to select the appropriate Topic for your abstract. You will receive a message on the screen as well as an email when your submission has been successfully stored in the system. If you are submitting multiple abstracts, you will need to repeat this step for each abstract submission.

    

2. Once an abstract has been submitted, you can access the system to make changes to your submission by selecting "Modify an Abstract" under the Authors menu on the Abstract Submission and Review page. You will need your Paper ID and Password for the abstract that you wish to modify. Please note that each time you access the system, you will be required to re-attach your file for your modifications to be saved.

The deadline for submitting an abstract has been extended to October 22, 2007.

Poster Rapporteur

In order to attract more attention to the poster presentations, each poster will be announced by a rapporteur after the morning Plenary Session on the day of presentation. This announcement will be performed with one Power Point slide per poster, which should be provided by the authors.

The slide should contain the title, names of the author(s) and the affiliation(s) as well as a brief statement of the motivation and main results. This information will be read by the rapporteur. A template is provided here as a guide. You may use any background, text color and graphics that will entice participants to visit your full poster.
