There will be 30 min invited lectures covering recent advances in the topics of the Symposium. Other contributions will be presented in one poster session. This poster session provides the main forum for the presentation of new work and for the discussion of recent progress. A few of the contributions will be selected for oral presentation (20 min lectures).
