Authors will be asked to specify a format (paper presentation or poster session) at the time the work is submitted. Proposals for Colloquia: Colloquia are collections of four paper presentations which relate to a narrowly defined topic of interest. They are submitted as a group, individually reviewed and offered in 120 min. time blocks. Proposals for colloquia consist of one page plain text abstract, including examples and references (max. 3000 characters), describing the colloquium as a whole. In addition, for each of the papers to be presented one page plain text abstract with author's name, professional affiliation, and email address must be included. Sufficient details should be provided to allow peer reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. A chair for the session must also be identified. Instead of a fourth speaker, time can be reserved for discussion lead by a specified discussant. The person submitting a proposal for a colloquium has the charge of securing the permission and co-operation of all participants before the proposal is submitted.
