CfP SUBMISSION
--------------

Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be
provided with CfP submissions otherwise the Programme Committee will
be unable to review the submission. For avoidance of doubt this means
that submissions which do not include slides will be rejected
immediately.  For work in progress, the most current information
available at time of submission is acceptable.

All draft and complete slides must be submitted in PDF format
only.

Final slides are to be provided by the specified deadline for
publication on the APRICOT website.

Prospective presenters should note that the majority of speaking slots
will be filled well before the final submission deadline.  The PC may,
at their discretion, retain a limited number of slots up to the final
submission deadline for presentations that are exceptionally timely,
important, or of critical operational importance.  Every year we turn
away submissions, due to filling up all available program slots before
the deadline.   Presenters should endeavour to get material into the
PC sooner rather than later

Please submit on-line at:

Committee by e-mail at:
