Conference program

The detailed conference program will be prepared at the end of the summer and will be made available in early September, after the paper selection process.

The provisional schedule is presented below. It includes scientific sessions, two keynote talks, lunches, and social events.

* This provisional schedule is subject to change. The final program will be announced in early September.
