The deadline for submitting abstracts has passed

As you know from the Call for Abstracts, the Conference was planned for about 200 participants.
Surprisingly, we have received so many abstracts that developing the conference program becomes a challenge. This positive problem will be solved from two opposite directions:
  • Increasing the number of talks. Whether to add the 5th parallel session or to make conference days longer? – this is really hard choice.
  • Rejecting part of abstracts, which is much more unpleasant side of the issue. The reviewers are asked to raise the bar for the abstract quality; a number of good abstracts will be probably left behind by the Program Committee, which is a matter of program composition.
If your abstract will be rejected, please do not take it on personal account but on the account of the program tighteness; and consider the possibility to present your results and ideas in a discussion session!
