The large number of abstracts received allows per author only one presentation and only one paper to be included in the conference proceedings and programme. Papers will only be accepted from individuals who are prepared to present them in person at the Congress. In the case of multiple authors at least one author must be present. The payment of the registration fee will be checked before inclusion of any paper in the proceedings, thus all those submitting must have registered and paid before 31 January 2009. Papers must describe original, previously unpublished research and must be written and presented in English. The final manuscript will be peer reviewed by one member of the Scientific Committee. A decision about the presentation form (oral or poster) will be issued taking into consideration the authors wishes and the recommendations of the reviewer. Independent of the decision about poster or oral presentation, the full paper will be published in the proceedings. The editors of the proceeding reserve the right NOT to include any paper that falls short of the standard required.
