By default, abstracts will be reviewed as proposals for oral presentations. Authors who prefer to do a poster presentation should state that preference in their abstract. In addition, authors who wish to do an oral presentation should state whether they would be willing to do a poster presentation as an alternative (if this is necessitated by a surfeit of accepted papers). No author may submit more than three abstracts, and at most one of an author’s abstracts may be for a single-author paper.</div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><b class="">Important dates:</b></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class="">Deadline for abstract submission: February 15, 2016</div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class="">Decisions on submitted abstracts: April 10, 2016</div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class="">Workshop program posted online: April 10, 2016</div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><b class="">Workshop website: </b>anamorphosys.xyz</div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><b class="">Workshop organizers:</b></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class="">• Géraldine Walther (DDL, ASLAN, CNRS) </div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class="">• Gregory Stump (Kentucky)</div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class="">The AnaMorphoSys Workshop’s scientific committee is listed on the workshop website, anamorphosys.xyz.</div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class="">Questions concerning the AnaMorphoSys workshop should be sent to <a href="mailto:anamorphosys.conference@gmail.com" class="">anamorphosys.conference@gmail.com</a>.</div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><b class="">Supporting institutions:</b></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class="">• LABEX ASLAN (Advanced Studies on LANguage complexity, ANR-10-LABX-0081), University of Lyon</div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class="">• University of Kentucky</div></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;" class=""></div></div></body></html>
