There is no limit on co-authored abstracts. Authors are expected to present
their own papers and posters. Papers and posters must be delivered as
projected in the abstract or represent bona fide developments of the same

presented at other major conferences or which has been published. Abstracts
must be submitted in PDF format. Abstracts must fit on one A4 or letter size
page with font no smaller than 12 points. No exceptions to these requirements

you identify yourself in any way on the abstract itself, the abstract will be
rejected without being evaluated. Abstracts that do not conform to the format
guidelines will not be considered.

Please email your abstract as a PDF to vylc2018 at jife.at with subject line
''VYLC 2018 Submission''. In the body of the email include the names of all
authors, their affiliations and whether you would like your abstract to be
considered for a 20-minute oral presentation, a poster presentation or both.
