Abstracts received by the published deadline will be evaluated by the workshop program committee to ensure that the submissions are relevant to the workshop.
After the authors are notified of acceptance, the presenting author and any coauthors planning to attend the workshop will be required to register for the workshop.
Authors are advised to carefully proofread their abstracts because those abstracts that are accepted will be reproduced in the workshop program and proceedings which will appear online and in print. The workshop proceedings may become a special issue of a scientific journal or a report published by NIST. Those abstracts will be expanded beyond the fundamental abstract format and will follow the chosen journal requirements. Any errors in spelling, grammar or data are the responsibility of the authors. Authors are responsible for the review and clearance of their abstract submissions according to their home institution policies.
