The author(s) of best presentation will obtain an invitation to submit and extended report of his or her research to one of the leading JCR-listed journals. This invitation is only a recommendation to journal's Editorial Board and the new submission subjects to additional review and must not infringe copyright transferred to the publisher of conference papers.

Oral Presentations
The time allocated for each oral presentation is 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes for discussion. Speakers are expected to adhere strictly to this schedule, which will be enforced by session chairs in order to finish sessions on time and to permit participants to move successfully from one parallel session to another.
All conference rooms will be equipped with a computer projection system (LCD projector and PC with Windows 7, Microsoft Office 2007, PowerPoint 2010 Viewer, Windows Media Player and Adobe Acrobat reader). Speakers are required to allow adequate time prior to their sessions to load and check their presentations on the designated computer. A member of the Local Organizing Committee will be available in each parallel session to help. In addition, speakers are required to meet with their session chairpersons in the scheduled conference room at least 10 minutes before the beginning of the session. Please ensure that your presentation correctly loaded before the start of your session. It is also a good idea to ensure that the chairperson knows how to correctly pronounce your name.
