Your ABSTRACT should be around 500 words and must not contain any self-references, in order to facilitate blind review.

Please submit together with your abstract a short BIOGRAPHY of about 200 words for each author of the paper, written in third-person form ("She is professor..." rather than "I am professor...").

The abstract will be reviewed within 4-6 weeks by 2 or 3 experts in the area.
