Abstract Submission

All contributions to HB 2008 will be managed using the JACoW Scientific Program Management System (SPMS). All authors must have both a profile and an associated account within the JACoW Repository before submitting an abstract. Please note that if you attended a JACoW conference since 2005, you should already have a profile and account in the system. Only one account is needed for multiple conferences.

Using the links at the bottom of this page, please follow the instructions to log on to your account and submit your abstract(s).

Please read the following submission guidelines before submitting your abstract.

The deadline for abstract submission is Friday, June 27.

Submitting Your Abstract

Abstract Title

Enter the title of the abstract. Please use initial capital letters only, not all capitals.

Presentation Type

Authors of papers that are not invited ("Invited Oral") should select "Contributed Oral." The Program Committee will select which contributed submissions will be presented orally. The remaining submissions will be presented as posters. Soon after the close of abstract submission, submitters will be notified of their presentation type.

Classification

To complete submission of your abstract, you must select a classification. Classifications are based on the program tracks for the conference. Authors are responsible for properly classifying their abstracts to ensure that, if accepted for presentation, their papers are properly placed within the conference program. The Program Committee reserves the right to change the classification of your abstract if deemed appropriate.

Abstract

An abstract is a concise summary of a paper. It should describe the paper and include a statement of the issue, research methods, and significant findings. Abstracts should be written as one continuous paragraph (carriage returns are not allowed). Because electronic submission over the Web does not allow a simple, straightforward system to enter symbols, superscripts, or subscripts, authors are requested not to use them. Also, equations and footnotes are not acceptable within the body of abstracts and will be removed by the proceedings editor. Note that footnotes and references to funding agencies may be entered in their designated fields (see below). Abstract text should not exceed 1200 characters.

Footnotes

Footnotes not exceeding 200 characters may be inserted in the footnote field for references to coauthors, institutions, etc.

Funding Agency

Once your abstract text is entered, click "Submit." You will receive e-mail confirmation of your submission.

Following Abstract Submission

Entering Coauthor Information

After having "submitted" your abstract, a new window will open allowing you to enter coauthors and designate them as primary/submitting, speaker/presenter, etc. Note that when you enter coauthors, this information also goes into the SPMS, which will search to see whether a profile/account already exists for the coauthor. After the abstract is submitted, primary/submitting authors may log on to their accounts at any time and edit their abstracts/coauthor data, etc.

It is assumed that the submitting author would present a paper for oral presentation if selected. The names of submitting authors/persons who will make oral presentations will appear first in the list of coauthors in the conference program and abstracts brochure. If a person other than the submitting author would present the paper, this should be indicated on this page.

Making Changes to Your Abstract

Once the author information is complete, clicking "Return to Abstract List," will allow you to print, edit, or withdraw the abstract. You can log in to SPMS and make changes to your abstract and author information at any time before the submission deadline of Friday, June 27 (24:00, Eastern Standard Time).

Notification of Acceptance

Notification of the acceptance of contributions for presentation at the conference will be made to all submitting authors.
