Preliminary Program & Topics

Sessions related to specific topics of the Conference will be introduced by Keynote Lectures which will be complemented by technical sessions, organized by recognized experts in research areas of current interest, as well as by contributed papers.
The program will also include several Working and Brainstorming Sessions aimed at developing recommendations and suggested action plans that will identify the challenges, motivations, applications, and impacts.
These recommendations will be collected and published as a set of conclusions, resolutions and recommendations.
