   Innovation abstracts may be non-experimental and describe the development and validation of an innovation in simulation (process, techniques or technology).

5. Work-in progress is acceptable.

6. Submitted abstracts should include non-published data.

9. All abstracts should be submitted and presented in English with accurate grammar and spelling of a quality suitable for publication. If you need help, please arrange for the review of your abstract by a colleague, a university specific publications office (or other similar facility) or a copy editor prior to submission.
