https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=als2017 <https://easychair.org/conferences/conference_dir.cgi?a=14393400>
 
Once you are logged in select the ‘New submission’ tab. You will be asked to enter your author details, title, abstract and keywords in the text boxes. The system will ask you to select your preferred presentation type i.e. oral presentation or poster. We strongly encourage a poster submission if your dataset lends itself well to graphical presentation, in-depth personal discussion, or is a dataset of modest size. Posters will have a session on Day 2 of the conference. The system will also ask you to enter all author and institution information into an online form

Please do not submit your abstract via email. If you require help, please email
