The technical program will consist of approximately 850 platform and poster presentations, organized into 65 sessions. The sessions and the three panels are grouped into the 13 thematic tracks listed below. See the Conference Schedule (PDF) for an overview of the days the sessions and panels will be conducted.
The titles and authors of the presentations scheduled as of December 15 and descriptions of the panels are listed by Track/Session in the Technical Presentations (PDF) section of the Preliminary Program. As an aid for browsing the file, the track topics and session codes appear in the side bars on these pages. Presentations are listed in alphabetic order by title, and asterisks (*) indicate poster presentations. This Preliminary Program is subject to change. The Final Program and abstracts for the presentations will be posted at this Web site by May 14. Upon arrival at the Conference, each person registered for the technical program will receive a printed copy of the Final Program and a CD-ROM containing the abstracts.
As a result of the outstanding response to the Call for Abstracts, the technical program is completely full, and we do not anticipate being able to add any additional platform or poster presentations. The Program Committee extends its appreciation to all who submitted abstracts.
