Sorting Categories
Submissions should include a DPP sorting category from the list below. Sorting categories are used to assign contributed abstracts to a session. Each contributed abstract must indicate both a “type” category and a “subject classification” category in order to be assigned to an appropriate session. Preferences for a group’s abstract placement must be specified by numerical order or first-author order in the “Special Instructions” field.
Type Categories – Choose one
- Theory/Computational
- Experimental/Observational
- Combined/General
Subject Classification Categories – Choose one
