Abstracts longer than 300 words will be rejected without being evaluated. Try to avoid using reference citations in text.

The name of the presenting author should be indicated with an asterisk (*). The abstract must contain the full names of contributing authors in order of the authorship and full affiliations of authors identified with superscripts (1). Abstracts should briefly outline the main features, results and conclusions as well as their general significance.
Changes to your abstract cannot be made after final submission deadline. Please proofread your abstract carefully before and during online submission. This includes adding authors or correcting authors names or affiliations.
