Authors of selected papers may be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication as book chapters in a published volume.

Short Papers

Authors may choose to submit a contribution for presentation without the submission of a full paper. In this case, a Short Paper in the form of an abstract, guidelength one to four pages, summarising the subject and content of the talk, should be submitted.
