Submitting abstracts via the web: To submit a contributed abstract using
the online web submission process (linked above), the author must know: (1) the
number and ordering of authors and collaborators; and (2) abstract content. Try
a test submission first. Log onto http://abstracts.aps.org
and select the meeting TEST. Follow the online directions to create a practice
abstract. When ready to submit online, select the meeting NEF01 by
clicking the appropriate button. A form will be created and you input the
information.
Submitting abstracts via email: Contributors must create their abstracts
from an electronic template supplied by the American Physical Society. The
template and instruction files for contributed abstracts can be obtained by
sending an email to abs-request@aps.org
with the phrase "request NEF01" in the message. Those contributors
who are absolutely unable to submit via the web or electronically should
contact meetings@aps.org, rather than the
local hosts. If you have further questions regarding abstract submission, also
try abs-help@aps.org.

walking past the dining commons (see camps map) to get to Rhodes Hall. We will
place signs near the lot to direct you and try and post a few students in the

next to the Student Center at the end of Appian Way by continuing on Main St.
past Wyman Way, turning left at the light two blocks up onto Winchester Street.
Drive past three brick buildings on the left and turn left onto Madison St.,
