ADVICE TO AUTHORS

The main purpose of the abstract is to give the Programme Committee information to assist them in selecting the papers to be presented at the Symposium.

• The selected papers will be presented in a 20 minutes speech at the Symposium (included 5 minutes for Q&A). No remote virtual presentation will be authorized.
• An abstract will be selected based on the importance and originality of the subject addressed, on its relevance to the conference theme, on the clarity of its expression. 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.
• The abstract should be a “stand alone” summary that can beused in the compilation of abstracts.
• The abstract should be in English and no longer than 500 words.
• The abstract should summarize the main objectives of the paper to be presented and outline its conclusions.
• Work that has been presented elsewhere and not updated, will be considered inappropriate.
• To ensure a high-quality conference, all submissions will be assessed by the conference chairs for technical merit and suitability of content regarding to the main topics listed above.
• Conference chairs may reject for presentation any paper that does not meet content expectations.
• Only original content should be submitted. Commercial papers, papers with no new developments or results will not be accepted for presentation.
• Notification by the Programme Committee will be accompanied by detailed instructions allowing authors to prepare and make the online submission of their full paper.
• Failure to comply with the deadlines and instructions required will entail not having the paper selected and included in the Symposium proceedings.
• You have to be registered through your personal account in order to manage all your personal data and abstract submission.
• You can choose one of your co-authors as presenter instead of you, but she/he will be invited to create a personal account too.
