An important goal of
the meeting is to allow ample opportunity for new emerging areas to be
represented. Therefore, at least 20% of the invited presentations will
be chosen from the submitted abstracts that describe late-breaking
news. Participants were able to begin submitting their abstracts in
November 2007. All abstracts will be evaluated by the scientific
organizing committee (please see below) and, if accepted, will be
selected for either an oral or poster presentation based on their
relevance and scientific merit. Times for poster viewing and informal
discussions have been set aside for the evenings of April 23, 24, and
25.
