How does the Final Numbering of Abstracts work?
Final Paper (Abstract) Numbers are based off “Final Session Numbers”. Each paper within a session is given a letter, starting with the letter “a”, based off the order of the papers within the session. Then these letters are preceded by the final session number of that session (i.e. The 1st three papers of session 31 will be 31a, 31b and 31c). Final Paper Numbers are frozen material is sent to the printer (for creation of program book ) or Omnipress (for creation of CD-ROM proceedings). Once this is done the Final Paper Numbers are locked and can not be changed. Thus, if there is a last minute addition, withdrawal, transfer, etc… then the paper numbers may look slightly different than explained above.
