Download the Abstract Template and prepare the abstract with you favourite word processor following the instructions you will find in the form.
When the abstract is ready, convert in in a format suitable for submission.
Accepted formats are PDF
and PostScript. If you don't have Acrobat
software to convert your document in PDF you can print it to a file using
a Postscript printer. The document will be converted automatically in
a Postscript file. Then select the Abstract
Submission Form link.
The screen will contain a blank template for entering abstract title, author information and other data needed. An example of a completed template is available here. MANDATORY fields are marked with an (*) symbol.
After completing all MANDATORY (and OPTIONAL) sections of the template, click "SUBMIT".
If the abstract form is free of errors, the next screen titled "Abstract Submitted" will display the acknowledgment that your abstract has been accepted into the database together with an "Abstract Submission Number". Until then your abstract has not been saved into the database. If the abstract form contains errors, an error message is displayed. The same information will be also e-mailed at the address you provided in the form.
Abstract submitted in Postscript will be converted periodically by the system.
Using the specified Web address, your "Abstract Submission Number" and the password you can make changes before the deadline. If you wish you can also view a previously submitted abstract if it has been already converted in PDF.
