Sessions marked with an asterisk (*) were arranged by the speakers themselves; all other sessions were arranged by the 14 th ICCS committee. All requests for scheduling papers/sessions on a particular day have been met, but speakers who made such requests should check that this is the case, and that they are registered for the correct day. Included below are the papers of all who registered on or before March 31st. All those who submitted paper proposals but did not register by that date were deemed to have withdrawn and accordingly have been removed from the schedule.
