Extended abstracts

The extended abstracts will be printed in hardcopy and will be made available at the conference. Therefore, the correct formatting of the extended abstracts is of utmost importance.

Authors should use the paper template to create the extended abstract, but limiting the length of the document to 2 pages. The extended abstract shall contain an abstract and keywords. It shall be, like the paper, organized in chapters: the introduction should include the scope of the problem and state the objectives of the paper; the materials and methods should be addressed briefly; the results and discussion section should constitute the main part of the extended abstract; and conclusions should be stated. Acknowledgements and references can also be included.

Please see below an example of a correctly formated extended abstract.
