We wrote up the guidelines for paper session and poster session. The last is the additional session. We are very sorry that we cannot provide a large panel for each presentations
as we have some co-located events during the conference. Before writting up the information for the additional sessions, we will fix the program of the additional sessions(mainly aural presentation and talk session) and update the online program tonight (and in the morning).

Review of the additional session is finished.

Review of the additional session was finished, and the notice of acceptance was sent to the authors.

It was a hard review as one of the reviewers was sick in bed and the biggest proposal arrived in the last day.

Next we are going to make up the guideline for authors (poster panel size limitation is changed as the limit of room space). The final program will be appeared in the next week.

2nd Call for Abstracts is closed today.
