Conference Programme

 

The conference will start on June 2 in the morning and end on June 5 (optional June 6) in the morning. Two keynote or invited lectures will be held per day, one at the beginning of the morning sessions, two at the end of the afternoon sessions. The second part of the morning sessions and the main part of the afternoon sessions will be allocated to shorter presentations of submitted papers, selected by the programme committee. According to the chosen topics, contributed paper presentations are assigned to specialised sessions. After all talks, sufficient time for discussion is scheduled. Special sessions for presentations of Ph.D. students will take place on Wednesday afternoon.
