What is an application track?

An application track is a grouping of presentations on a topic of widespread interest across conferences. During submission of the abstract, the submitting author should select an application track if it is relevant to their research.

Once the program is published online, presentations in an application track can be filtered so they display together in a single view. Review the presentations found within each application track for this meeting by clicking on the links below.
