The conference registration as well as the abstract submission and hotel reservation can be conveniently carried out through the conference software, called CATS, which is seamlessly integrated into the conference homepage.
The software guides you through the whole process from creating a user account, submitting an abstract, registering for the conference, purchasing additional items like dinners, proceeding volumes etc.
It also acts as your interface for all accounting aspects from printing invoices to paying by credit card or electronic bank transfers. In addition it serves conference chair-persons as a tool to manage sessions. Please handle all conference-related aspects via this interface.
For writing your abstract please use the template provided in Word format ONLY! Abstracts will have to be re-submitted if their layout differs significantly.
The abstract should be short and consist of two (!) pages. The abstract may be comprised of text, figures, and tables. Drawings, figures, and tables should include figure labels and scale markers and have to be placed on the second page (!). Color figures may be used, and will be reproduced as such in the electronic proceedings distributed on CD-ROM; however, in the hard copy, these figures will be reproduced as grayscale images.
After writing your abstract, it is necessary to convert it to PDF. Please don’t use any headers, footers, and page numbering.
Only unencrypted PDF type documents will be accepted for submission (minimum PDF version: 1.6).
Please upload your abstract via the conference management system and don't forget to quote all authors there.
