Original papers are solicited on the following critical areas of research and engineering.
Each paper will be selected through its abstract emphasizing the topic and interest of the presentation. All abstract submissions will be assessed by membersof the Symposium Programme Committee.
Then, the selected contributors will be requested to submit the full paper to theConference Secretariat. All accepted and presented communications will be published in the online proceedings.
PhD’s papers are particularly appreciated.
We remind all submitters that papers and presentations should not resemble a company, service or production sales pitch. OPTRO is a scientific symposium which promotes scientific research.
