Poster abstracts will be reviewed by the organizing committee for adherence to the formatting requirements, topicality, and to the extent possible, technical correctness and potential impact. Originality will be considered but is not required. Authors of accepted abstracts will have an opportunity to revise their abstracts before distribution of the abstract book. Authors of selected poster abstracts will be invited to present contributed talks in addition to their posters.
