Submission

Late Breaking News Submission Guidelines

Late Breaking News Abstracts will be considered for Lightning Talks and Poster presentations. 

Submissions may include both published and unpublished work that tackle fundamental challenges for next-generation technologies, with a focus on novelty and the potential impact of these innovations on information processing, computing capabilities, and performance. We will prioritize submissions that present ambitious ideas and approaches. Selected submissions will be invited to deliver lightning talks and participate in poster presentations.

We will accept self-contained 2-page abstract (including references and figures) that will be reviewed by the technical program committee for novelty, quality, and clarity of the work.  Please send abstracts with the subject line "Late News Abstract" to abstracts@energyconsequences.com. Indicate at least 1-2 themes as mentioned below. 

Important Dates

Formatting

The Abstract may not exceed two pages when printed using standard letter-size (8.5-inch x 11-inch) paper with 1-inch margins (top, bottom, left, and right). The body text font must be Aptos, Calibri, or Times New Roman and must not be smaller than 11 point and single column. Figures and references must fit within the two-page limit. At the top of the Abstract, please indicate Theme(s). Please submit the  abstract as a pdf attachment with the corresponding author and email clearly indicated.
