Acceptance of an abstract is a necessary condition for giving a paper or a poster session in the symposium. Along with an abstract, each author should submit a request for time: 20 or 40 minutes. The Program Chair will determine the amount of time allotted based on the number of presenters and topics being presented. Ideally, each presentation will allow time for a brief question and answer period at the end of the presentation.
Speakers must register for the Symposium and pay a down payment on registration fees by August 6, 2012.

• Presenters who do not commit to attending and presenting at the Symposium by August 6th will not be considered for publication or listing in the program.
• The refereeing of these papers is separate from, and independent of, the reviewing of the abstracts since the Proceedings is a refereed publication.
