Main and Sub-classifications

Main and Sub-classifications

All contributions presented at the conference are organized in sessions allocated in the program.

A session is made of contributions on closely related topics. At the time of abstract submission, the authors are asked to declare the main topic of their contribution by choosing a Main Classification (MC) and a Sub Classification (SC).
