Authors are invited to submit abstracts via email to the Organizing Committee of the Conference at timo.kikas@emu.ee. Deadline for abstract submission is December 1st, 2014. Authors are advised to prepare concise and informative abstracts focusing on the objectives, methodology and results of the work. The scientific committee will decide based on the abstract your acceptance to the Conference to present your work and will invite you to take part in oral or poster session accordingly. Abstract should not exceed 500 words and must be prepared according to the guidelines provided in the template: Download abstract template. Each abstract should also include the following:

Title of the paper

Authors and their affiliations

Relevant conference topic

Preference for oral or poster presentation

• There is no limit in the number of authors per abstract.

• There can be up to two presenting authors for each abstract. Correspondence will be made with the presenting author(s).

• The presenting author(s) will be notified about the successful submission of the abstract immediately after submission and the Reference Code will be given to each abstract. In the event that such notification was not received, please contact the organising committee at timo.kikas@emu.ee.

• In later communication please refer to your abstract/paper using Reference Code.

• Notification of abstract acceptance/rejection will be communicated to the presenting author(s) within 10 days after submission.

• If an already submitted abstract has to be changed / corrected, the new version must be sent by email (as an attached file) to timo.kikas@emu.ee and the old abstract will be replaced with the new one. Reference Code for the abstract stays the same.
• As there are many more abstracts submitted for oral presentations than available slots within the program, the Scientific Advisory Committee will select the most relevant abstracts to be presented orally at the Conference. This decision will be communicated as soon as possible, and no later than February 2015. Those abstracts that have not been selected to be presented orally can be presented as posters.
