How many abstracts can I submit to the conference?
Normally, an author is expected to submit only one abstract.

Can I submit the same abstract to more than one Section or Working Group?

Such submissions are considered a breach of the conference guidelines and will be rejected.
Is there a limit to the number of authors on a paper?
