Review, Notification, Program Placement
- To ensure a high-quality conference, all abstracts will be reviewed by the Conference Chairs for technical merit and suitability of content. Conference Chairs may require summary revision before approving publication, and reserve the right to reject for presentation. SPIE's decision on whether to accept a presentation is final.
- The contact author will be notified of abstract acceptance by e-mail no later than 31 December 2010.
- Final placement in an oral or poster session is subject to the Chairs' discretion. Instructions for oral and poster presentations will be sent to the contact author by e-mail.
