Insert the title in the title box, the authors in the authors box and the affiliations, addresses and email address of principal author in the affiliation/address box. The computer program will then compile this information and place it at the top of the abstract box in the formats shown above. References should be indicated in the text (1,2,3) and be listed consecutively at the end of the abstract as a new paragraph, following the format below.

Individual paragraphs should be indicated by ONE hard return (Enter Key). After you submit, a compiled abstract will be prepared immediately and shown to you for proofreading.

Abstracts are required from all session speakers and poster presentations. Each will be printed on a single page in the Conference Program Book. Thus, it is important that the instructions be followed so that the format in the final Program will be as uniform as possible.
