Description
The Program Committee welcomes abstract submissions from individual members for presentation as part of a paper or poster session. Note that these are the only submissions that are may be submitted until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 1, 2013. All other submissions are due by 5:00 p.m. on April 12, 2013.
Types of individual submissions include:
Oral presentations
The Program Committee welcomes paper submissions from individual members for oral presentation. A maximum of 20 minutes will be allotted for the delivery of accepted papers, and the Program Committee reserves the right to limit the audio/visual equipment requested.
Poster session
The Program Committee hopes once again to schedule a poster session during the annual meeting. It feels that these presentations give authors the flexibility to display all of their data simultaneously in a variety of formats (graphically and electronically as well as orally) and give annual meeting registrants an opportunity to identify those aspects of the presentation that are of greatest interest to them and then interact with presenters one-on-one or in small groups. Authors may request that their papers be scheduled during the poster session, but the Program Committee reserves the right to make the final decision as to the assignment of each paper it accepts.
Papers to be read by title
Members may submit abstracts for papers to be listed in the Annual Meeting Program and published in the Abstracts book, but not to be presented orally at the Annual Meeting. In cases where the Program Committee does not think an abstract suitable for oral presentation, it reserves the right to accept it as a paper to be read by title or presented as part of a poster session.
