The presented work may already be published, in preparation for publication elsewhere, or part of ongoing research. You will need your co-authors' contact information (name and email address) for the submission. Accepted submissions will be assigned to a lightning talk (plenary session), an oral presentation (parallel session), or a poster presentation. You can indicate your preferred presentation format in the submission form.
