Early submission is advised. In particular, if you wish to register at the early registration rate then you will need to submit early. Authors are not permitted to register at an author rate without a paper acceptance.

Paper submissions consist of three elements:

• Entry into the online submission form of all key data requested. Note: This data is used to automatically generate the title and author names on the final paper, copyright form and DOI registration. It is most important that care is taken in entering this meta-data.
• A pdf of your paper in the correct format
• The original word document of your paper (or alternatively your LaTex files in the correct file structure - in one zipped file.)
