1. SUBMISSION OF AN ABSTRACT<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

An abstract of the relevant work summarizing the results can be submitted together with an extended abstract. The word limits for the abstract and the extended abstract are as follows:<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> 350 words<\/p>\n

Extended Abstract:<\/strong> 1000 words (excluding figure, table captions and references)<\/p>\n

A PDF file of the abstract must be provided, after merging with the extended abstract. The organizers will request to send the source files (MS Word or LaTex) upon acceptance.<\/p>\n

If it is necessary the authors can add references. However, an abstract can have a maximum of three references.<\/p>\n

The extended abstract should elaborate the research work being carried out and the research outcomes. It may have an introduction to the work, methodologies or experimental design used in the work, the results derived with a discussion on them and the concluding remarks. References can be added but the number of references should not exceed 10. All accepted abstracts will appear in the proceedings of the conference. The extended abstract is solely for the proper assessment of the relevant abstract hence it will not appear in the book of abstracts. Both the abstracts and the extended abstracts must be submitted in the given template.<\/p>\n
