Important Information:
The selection panel of the conference committee will consider all abstracts 
received by the submission deadline to ensure that the proposed paper is 
relevant to the Conference.  The authors of abstracts, which describe a 
relevant paper, will receive a notification of abstract acceptance. All 
full papers will be double-blind reviewed by members of the conference 
committee to ensure an adequate standard, that the proposed subject of 
their abstract has been followed, that the paper is of a suitable length, 
the standard of English is adequate and the paper is appropriately 
referenced. Papers that are accepted will be published in the conference 
proceedings providing at least one author registers and presents the work 
at the Conference (see the registration section of the conference website 
for more information about registration). Due to the large number of papers 
expected for this conference, the committee only allows an author to 
present one paper. Therefore if multiple papers are accepted for 
presentation different co-authors need to present each paper.
