Abstracts should generally fall within the following themes:
Fundamentals
Case Histories

Invitations for submission of full papers will be sent to authors whose abstracts are accepted by the Conference’s Technical Subcommittee by February 26, 2016. The submitted papers will be reviewed prior to final acceptance for inclusion in the conference proceedings. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the conference in order to upload a final paper and to be invited to make a presentation in the technical program.
Authors of accepted abstracts must submit their full paper by June 3, 2016, along with at least one full conference registration. Authors are expected to present their paper during the conference.
Full papers will be reviewed for clarity and technical merit. In cases where the reviewers feel revisions are necessary, reviewer’s comments will be provided by July 5, 2016 and revised papers are to be submitted by July 22, 2016. Accepted papers, where at least one author has registered for the conference, will be included in published proceedings of the conference on a USB key, which each registrant will received as part of their registration fee.
Final decisions regarding the technical merit, relevance, and assigned session topic for accepted papers are the responsibility of the Technical Subcommittee. As such, questions regarding sessions, topics and the technical program should be directed to the Technical Subcommittee.
