Abstract Submission Process
Abstracts should be 250-500 words in length and must be submitted via the abstract submission page (http://nepp.nasa.gov/mapld_2009/abstracts.cfm) on the MAPLD website by May 22, 2009. This page will prompt the author for (a) name, (b) presentation title, (c) relevant workshop topics, (d) organization or agency, (e) address, (f) country, (g) telephone number, and (h) email address. The author can then upload the 250–500 word abstract in doc, pdf, or ppt format.
All abstracts will be reviewed by the MAPLD 2009 Workshop Program Committee, which will then make selections for the workshop oral sessions as well as the poster session. Abstracts should synopsize the planned content for a 20 minute presentation. Sufficient detail should be provided to allow the Program Committee to judge its applicability to the MAPLD Workshop and select the appropriate session. Each author will be notified by email of their selection status by June 15, 2009. Authors of selected abstracts will also be notified of the session (oral or poster) for which they have been selected, and provided instructions for uploading their presentations (by August 15, 2009).
Regarding Copyrights, Technology Transfer, and Proprietary Information
Obtaining proper clearance for release of information in abstracts and presentations is solely the responsibility of the author. All submitted materials must be free of any copyright restrictions and/or markings. For each presentation, a signed release form will be required by August 15, 2009 stating that the author has obtained proper authorization to freely distribute their submitted presentations in the public domain (both within the United States and internationally).
