Abstracts: Topical Categories

Category

Categories are used as a guide for the Program Committee to build coherent sessions. The final session assignments and session titles are at the discretion of the Program Committee. If you request to be adjacent to a colleague’s paper, make sure that the same category number appears on both abstracts.
