A. Multiple Papers: This type of thematic session provides an opportunity for authors to present a synopsis of their work. The conference committee will group two or three papers of a related topic or theme together for this session. Each paper will be presented, followed by a 5-minute Q&A session. This session is appropriate for presenting research in progress.
