the abstract and details of the author(s) (name(s), affiliation, email address)
and one containing an anonymous abstract. Under the title for the abstract,
please give four keywords which summarise the paper/poster. In the body of your
email please specify whether the abstract is for a poster or paper presentation.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is 15th May 2008. 

Registration for the conference will open in June 2008. The conference fee is
