CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Program Committee invites all interested persons to submit abstracts
according to the following procedures. A member of the Society (Regular or
Associate) may submit only one abstract for which an oral presentation is
requested. Members may co-author additional abstracts for oral presentation
which other members are presenting or sponsoring. Abstracts for poster sessions
are not limited. Abstracts authored exclusively by non-members must be sponsored.
No member may present or sponsor more than one abstract for which an oral
presentation is requested. Abstracts for poster sessions are not limited.
Invited speakers who are members are invited to submit a regular proffered
abstract for either a platform or poster session, or to sponsor a paper for
a non-member. Non-member speakers are also invited to submit a regular proffered
abstract, but it must be sponsored by a member who is not presenting or
sponsoring any other proffered abstract. These proffered abstracts are in
addition to the abstract of the talk that you are giving.
PLATFORM AND POSTER PRESENTATIONS
This meeting offers an opportunity to present data in platform or poster
sessions. Authors submitting abstracts should check the appropriate box on
the abstract form. The Program Committee will designate the presentation
after considering all abstracts for topic, grouping, etc. Please note that
some symposia will have space for inclusion of short contributions. Abstracts
scheduled for presentation in poster sessions will be grouped by topic, numbered
and listed in the program and published in the abstract book in the usual
manner. Your abstract confirmation letter will inform you of the time and
place for your poster session.
