Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to submit an abstract for TIPP 2014, but had a few questions regarding the abstract submission form. I did try to search for the answers before writing this email, but to no avail. Hopefully, answering my questions will not take up too much of your time.
1. There is a field titled 'Summary'. Although it is not a mandatory field, I am not sure of what should be written there as the abstract seems to fit better in the 'Abstract content' field. What is the purpose behind the 'Summary' field?
2. It is not possible to specify the 'Presentation type'. Is this deliberate? Will there be any poster sessions, or will the conference only consist of talks?
3. What is the difference between a 'Primary Author' and 'Co-Author'? I assume that the former can change the abstract, but the latter cannot. Is this correct, and is this the only difference?
Sorry if all of these questions have already been answered on your website and I simply haven't been able to find the answers. Thank you in advance for your help.
Yours Faithfully,
Hassan Chagani.
