Final Program is Now Available Online

The Meeting Program has been finalized and is available for phones, tablets, notebooks and desktops on this website

Navigating the Website

The toolbar at the top of every page has links to three entries into the program:

Browse by Day/Time, a list of sessions organized by day and time, with links to the session pages.
Browse by Theme, a list of sessions by network, also with links to the session pages.
Lookup Participant, an index listing all participants in alphabetical order, with links to the sessions where they participate.

Each of these entry points into the program takes you to a session page, which lists the session chair and discussant, if any, and the authors and titles of the papers to be presented, with links to the online abstracts and extended abstracts (or completed papers) where available.

Participants by Institution

We also provide a list of institutions represented at the meeting, each entry has a link to a list of participants from that institution.
