SPIE's decision on whether to accept a presentation or publish a manuscript is final.
The contact author will be notified of abstract acceptance and sent manuscript instructions by e-mail no later than 3 January 2017
Final placement in an oral or poster session is subject to the Chairs' discretion. Instructions for oral and poster presentations may be found from the "For Authors/Presenters" link.
