SPHERIC 2019 - deadline for abstract submission - DEADLINE EXTENDED!

Due to the unexpected departure of one of our key team members we will need to extend the early bird deadline for a week, until the **12th of April**. The registration process is fully up and running, so please, keep registering for the conference!

A reminder that the 2019 SPHERIC International Workshop taking place at the University of Exeter on 25th-27th of June. Do not miss the opportunity to share your latest results with the community. When you submit your abstract please take into account:

• Abstract: Abstracts should be 1 page long and must include one illustrative figure outlining the quality of the results. Moreover, abstracts are expected to address the three major review criteria mentioned below. A comparison to reference solutions will be appreciated. An exemplary abstract can be found in our webpage (http://spheric2019.co.uk) . A pdf-version of the abstract should be submitted before the 18th of February 2019 via email to spheric2019@gmail.com. Authors submitting abstracts can choose between: (a) research, and (b) practical/industrial applications. Authors are also requested to assign their contribution to at least three Workshop topics in their email.
  
• Review process The abstract will be reviewed by at least three experts. Notification of acceptance for publication will be given before the 25th of March 2019. The quality of the abstracts will be assessed using averaged ratings for 3 equally important categories, i.e. (1) novelty, (2) applicability & impact and (3) predictive accuracy & predictive improvements over the state-of-the-art. These categories are used for both types, (a) research and (b) real-life applications, so that there is an equal process for all abstracts.
  
• Full paper: After notification of accepted abstract, authors should prepare their full 8-page paper according to the templates available in our webpage (http://spheric2019.co.uk). It is important NOT to put any page number in the paper. It is also recommended not to spend too much space on standard SPH equations on the paper, since readers are assumed to already know basics of SPH. At least one author is expected to register for the workshop and present the paper. Papers with no registered authors will not be published. Papers should be submitted before the 3rd of May 2019 in pdf format via email to spheric2019@gmail.com.

You can find more information in our webpage (http://spheric2019.co.uk), and in case of doubt, do not hesitate to email me. Thanks a lot for your time and looking forward to see you in Exeter.

Kind regards,
