Poster session: We strongly encourage poster presenters to setup your posters as early as possible on Saturday, such that people can see them during the breaks. The main poster session is on Saturday 3:30-6pm. We suggest that during this time you spend at least ONE HOUR at your poster and the remaining time seeing other posters.
Posters boards are 46 inches tall and 70 inches wide and they will be numbered from P1 to P98. Please look up your number from the POSTERS list below and possibly indicate the number on the top right of your poster.
- Here is the list of TALKS and POSTERS linked to the abstracts (* denotes presenting author).
- If you prefer, here is a PDF file with all the conference abstracts (ordered by the talks and posters listed above). (* denotes corresponding author).
