Regular Speakers: abstract + paper

By May 30, 2017, both Oral Presenters and Poster Presenters are invited to submit a one-page extended abstract (max. 2,500 characters, incl spaces) through the electronic form provided on our website http://elfm.eu/call-for-papers/. Presenters indicate the Session they want to be involved in (see list of Session and Topics here) and indicate if they want to present orally and/or through a Poster. Participants will be notified about their contribution by June 30, 2017 (decision: 1. Oral Presentation, 2. Poster Presentation, or 3. Not Accepted – decision made by the Scientific Committee).

All accepted Presenters (both Oral and Poster Presenters) are then invited to provide a 6-page paper in A4 format by November 10, 2017 which will be published in the official Symposium Proceedings together with the papers of the keynote speakers. The standard paper template will be provided here in the near future. Strict adherence to the paper guidelines (e.g. figure/table caption and reference style) is obligatory. Submission of the manuscript is performed through the on-line submission tool.

Invited Speakers: paper only

Invited Speakers do not need to provide an extended abstract. However, all Invited Speakers need to submit a paper for inclusion in the Symposium Proceedings. The paper length for the Review/Position papers is maximum 14 pages, while the length for case-study Invited Lectures is maximum 6 pages. Deadline for this paper Submission is also November 10, 2017.
