All submissions will be assessed on the basis of quality, novelty and relevance to the conference themes. Acceptance of a paper and publication in the proceedings is conditional on at least one author registering at the full rate and presenting the paper at the conference.
At least one full registration is required per paper. Inclusion of accepted papers in the conference proceedings CD-ROM is conditional upon receiving payment for at least one full registration per paper latest by May 15th, 2010.
Please note that we must be able to print your paper once it is submitted.

To maximize the chances that your paper will print correctly, please use only standard printer fonts (e.g., Arial 9pt) or standard TeX Computer Modern fonts. The use of standard printer fonts is strongly preferred over TeX fonts, if possible.
