Material accepted for the final program will be published in the conference book with ISBN code.
Plenary speakers are invited by the Committee. Although the working conference language is English, keynote speakers are free to give the lecture in English or Russian. In the latter case a consecutive translation into English will be provided.
Section and poster presentations are selected by the Committee based on the authors’ choice during online abstract submission, abstracts review and current program configuration. The Committee reserves the right to change the presentation type and inform the author(s).
The program will allocate 15 min to a session talk, plus 5 min for discussion. Please, gauge your presentation accordingly to ensure that each speaker has equal opportunity to present. The format of multimedia presentations must be MS PowerPoint or Adobe PDF. Each speaker should bring a copy of presentation materials on a USB flash drive or CD on the day before his talk to technical personnel to test it on a local computer. Usage of personal computers for presentations is not permitted.
Poster presentations should be no larger than ANSI D (22 × 34 inches), or ISO A1 (60 x 85 cm) formats. For easier perception and identification, a poster should contain a clear heading (font size min 70), clear listing of the authors with a photograph of actual participant (his name in the list must be underlined), contact information, and clear self-explanatory contents designed to contain graphic forms (figures, charts, etc.) when possible to describe research.
