23 July 2018 - Session Chairs Wanted

The tentative session schedule has now been updated below. Further updates will be made in the coming weeks so please keep an eye out. We are also looking for volunteers to act as session chairs for our various technical sessions. Please email us at (IEEEASOF2018@gmail.com) if you would like to volunteer. 

15 July 2018 - One Month to go!

Early registration for ASOF2018 has now closed. Registration is still open to all new attendees using the same registration link below. We are also happy to review late abstracts for the event for any interested authors. 

6 July 2018 - Abstract Updates

Thanks to all authors who have submitted abstracts. Abstract acceptance notices have now been sent to all authors. Please be sure to also register to the conference using the registration link below. Finally, although the formal abstract submission deadline is now closed, and in an effort to be inclusive we will be reviewing late abstract submissions so please feel free to send these through.

30 June 2018 - Abstract extension

We have extended the deadline for abstracts until COB July 4th. Authors will still be notified on July 6th.

28 June 2018 - Registration Now Live!

We are now accepting conference registrations! Please see the link below to register for the conference. If you would like to submit an abstract please separately follow the abstract submission instructions.

27 June 2018 - Abstract Submission Now Live!

After some delay we are now able to receive abstracts for the conference. Please email your abstract template in PDF form to the following address (IEEEASOF2018@gmail.com) All authors will be notified by COB Friday July 6th. The link to register for the conference will also be up shortly.

31 May 2018 - Welcome all to ASOF!

As you will have seen we are having some delays with the setup of our registration page and apologize for the confusion.
