3.1 – Oral presentation of works – Commitment
ABAS has been running into a number of problems caused by authors who fail to deliver their oral presentation, harming the technical session and causing disappointment to those who attended the presentation. This also leads to unnecessary extra cost to the event in virtue of the installations which need to be rented as well as the personnel required to the technical sessions.
Due to this problem, to validate the final acceptance of the presentation, ABAS requires that the presenting authors of the paper pay their registration fees. The “Term of Agreement for Presentation” must also be signed by one of the authors. This should be submitted to the event administration office by e-mail [email protected] until November 3, 2021.
