Submit all abstracts electronically, using the link found at the MMM Home Page (http://www.magnetism.org). The link will be available starting June 11, 2008. Abstracts must be submitted prior to the July 2, 2008 deadline. This deadline will be strictly observed. The presenting author must be a paid registrant. The Conference does not provide support for any presentations. All abstracts must be submitted via the WEB submission system ONLY. Abstracts sent via e-mail, fax, or regular mail, will not be processed or acknowledged. Abstracts should be 300 words or less, and are limited by the submission system. Two figures/tables are permitted. However, note that this significantly reduces the text permitted. Make your determination about whether you prefer text or figures and work within the limit. Titles, authors, addresses, and references will not count in the 300 word limit. Read and follow submission procedures, which will be available at each step of the process. If you have questions about this procedure, please contact the AIP Coordinator at the e-mail address: magnet@aip.org or use the help icon on the web page. Follow instructions on the allowed file formats for the abstract submission. Only formats described in the instructions will be accepted. There are many to choose from. Submit your abstract only once. Draft mode will be available until the deadline date. This permits authors to continue editing at a later date/time. If you change your mind about the abstract, you may withdraw it and submit a new one. All information about this process will be available online. The Draft mode will be eliminated, along with anything left in it, on July 2, 2008. Be sure to provide a clear and correct e-mail address for the corresponding author and provide all other information requested on the electronic form. Use upper and lower case characters. (DO NOT simply use all upper case). This e-mail address will be used to notify you of acceptance and the location of informational materials. Acronyms of institution names are acceptable. Be sure to type your first and last names in the proper boxes. If your name is transposed we will be unable to locate you. The web submission system will automatically produce your abstract in the proper format for publication in the Abstracts Book. You may copy and paste your abstract (without formatting or TeX characters) into the space provided at the website. Figures need to be uploaded. The version you view and edit on the screen is a facsimile. Acknowledgment of your submission will be sent via e-mail. If you do not receive this e-mail confirmation, your abstract is NOT submitted. Following construction of the Program, the abstracts will appear online at the Conference website in a fully searchable format. If, for some reason, you do not wish your abstract to appear online, you must check the box provided on the submission form. If this is done, only the title, authors and affiliations will appear. Abstract acceptance will be announced via e-mail. Authors will be advised as to the status of their submission by early August 2008.
