- Abstract
With the submission deadline three months before the actual event, there are bound to be relevant topics to come up that have not been submitted in time for inclusion in the program, unless there is a dedicated session for that. So I propose to dedicate 1h in total (perhaps on day 2) to lightning talks on such topics. Depending on how many submissions come in for this in a separate round of proposals that ends shortly before the session, the length of each talk would be somewhere between 1 and 5 min. Topics submitted by the official submission deadline of July 31 that did not make it into the final program are eligible for consideration as a lightning talk in this session.
