We invite submissions of abstracts for papers (30-minute presentation plus

SALT 19 will feature a poster session. When you submit your abstract, you will

this session. Poster presentations will be published as regular papers in the
proceedings.
Policies:
Authors may be involved in at most two submissions and may be the sole author of

presentation at the conference.
SALT does not accept papers that have been published or have been accepted for
publication at the time of the conference. In addition, preference will be given
to presentations that are not duplicated at other major conferences. We
therefore request that authors indicate prior or planned presentations of their
papers when they submit their abstracts.

We will use Pasha for submission of abstracts; only pdf files can be accepted
through the system. To submit, please follow this link:
