Oral presentation: presenters would be requested to make a 20 minute oral presentation at the workshop.

Poster presentation: presenters would be requested to present a poster and present a five minute oral presentation outlining their work. Guidelines for preparing posters can be downloaded here

Registration: All presenters are required to register for the workshop and pay the registration fee. All presenters must register by 15 January 2012. Failure to register by this date will result in the presentation being withdrawn from the program, and the abstract will therefore not be published.
