Please note that registration for the Summit is mandatory upon abstract acceptance in order to present a contribution. If you have registered prior to the acceptance of your abstract, please note that cancellation policy noted in the event registration process still applies. 

Abstract Submission Guidelines 

1. Abstracts should be submitted only if convincing results have already been obtained. Figures and tables showing results are helpful to the reader. If the abstract focuses on a software tool, it must showcase a novel tool, features, or application.
2. Experimental reports should include relevant data such as number of subjects studied or statistical information, as appropriate. 
3. Ensure that your methods and results sections provide enough detail for readers to clearly understand the data collected and the findings observed. For example, where appropriate please include information on data acquisition, data processing, quantitative results and statistics, etc. Specifically, if the study involves data from human or non-human subjects, specify the number of subjects tested along with their demographics (e.g., sex, age). Additionally, when reporting results, include effect sizes whenever possible. 
4. Please accurately include all co-authors and their affiliations. If in doubt whether a person’s contributions should or should not be considered as authorship, please refer to http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf .
