***** NEW TRACK and extended deadlines *****

Due to numerous requests we have decided to extend the deadline of iPRES2011 for FULL PAPERS until July 17 (midnight IDLW, GMT -12hrs)

The deadline for these papers, posters and demonstrations is 12 AUGUST 2011. Please note that these are firm deadlines. For all deadlines, see dates below.
