Not invited speakers at the Venice 2017 conference will be selected on the basis of abstracts submitted in response to this call for proposals. Abstracts will be selected on the basis of originality of research and clarity of presentations. Abstracts will NOT be selected on the basis of beauty of presentation, so submitters should focus on content, not form. Accepted abstracts will be presented at the conference. A selection of presentations at the conference will be invited to develop their work into full papers for publication in the Proceedings. The selection of final full papers to publish will be made by the Scientific Committee. Authors whose abstracts are accepted but who do not attend the conference to present their work will not be invited to publish in the Proceedings.
