Abstract Guidelines:

​

Abstracts should concisely report the aims and outcomes of your research so that readers know exactly what your paper is about. Your abstract should be fully understandable on it's own to someone who hasn't read your full paper or related sources.

​

• You will select one track that best aligns with your abstract topic.

• You must have a short, specific Abstract Title that indicates the nature of your Technical Paper (containing no abbreviations). 

• You will need to provide a 100-200 word abstract. Be as specific as possible as to what you will discuss in your paper - technologies or strategies covered, case studies cited, etc. This will be used by the conference committee to evaluate your submission.

• Your abstract should include all of the following:

  • Your research problems and objectives

  • Your methods

  • Your key results or arguments

  • Your conclusion
