Thinking in those researchers directly related with the Conference topics which are not able to attend it in person (usually due to insufficient funding to cost all the conference expenses: travel, accommodation, registration, etc.), a Virtual Participation modality will be established, with the same validity than "physical" one (certificates, publications, etc.). For this type of presentations, authors will be requested to send "virtual posters" (for example, "Power Point" presentations), to be exposed at the PCs available at the posters rooms, as well as the corresponding paper (if any) for review. Every virtual paper/poster will have an electronic forum associated, which will allow interested researchers and authors to e-interact, even after the end of the Conference. Authors of these type of posters are requested to reply or discuss the commentaries/questions on their paper(s). If you are interested in this type of participation, please indicate it both in your abstract and your pre- and registration forms.

IMPORTANT: Papers and virtual posters from virtual participants must be received at the Conference Secretariat no later than October 1st 2003.
