Announcement: The deadline for full consideration of abstracts for oral presentations was July 3, 2023.  Abstracts submitted after that date will still be reviewed for acceptance as poster presentations.  An exceptional poster abstract may be selected for oral presentation, as limited space in the program schedule allows. 

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

Abstracts for oral or poster presentations should be submitted through Easy Chair. An abstract should be maximum 300 words long and present key ideas of the presentation. Conference articles are not needed at the time of abstract submission. 

You can also send us an abstract for the poster presentation. Here the topic and the content should be briefly described. Poster abstracts should be sent via Easy Chair as well with the note that this is a poster presentation. The maximum size for posters is 40”x27” resp. ISO A0 (landscape format is preferred).
