Once your submission has been accepted for presentation, you must register for the conference in order to present. Your allocated time for oral or poster presentation and the program schedule will be emailed to you prior to the start of the conference. Accepted manuscripts may be revised and re-submitted.

The Program Committee has extended the deadline and will accept submissions no later then November 2, 2008.
