TAG+9 2008

Program

The list of accepted submissions is given below. If you have received notification of acceptance, please prepare your camera-ready paper following the Guidelines for Formatting Papers for the Proceedings.

Poster preparation guidelines: The poster size should be at most size A0 (841mm x 1189mm). If you plan to use the entire A0 size then please make sure you create the poster in vertical orientation (portrait). If your poster fits within the prescribed A0 size then it can be landscape orientation. There will be movable walls and mounting pins provided at the venue.

Remember to register! Select Registration from the left-hand menu. Please also confirm to us by email to tagplus@sfb441.uni-tuebingen.de that at least one author will be attending TAG+9 to present the work.
