Extended Abstracts
Up to 600 words, including keywords plus visual graphics and photos. The main purpose of extended abstracts is to concisely present ongoing research, namely focusing on the project’s initial modeling, demonstrating how models for applied research projects and intermediate results were created, and including a vision of pains and gains, obstacles, and overcomes. We suggest following a structure with the typology of case method presentation.
