> 
> Virtual Congress
> ----------------
> 
> If the author of an accepted communication cannot attend the congress
> to give a presentation or if the program committee finds it
> appropriate, the communication will be included in the virtual
> congress website. This implies its inclusion in the web pages and in
> the congress proceedings.
> 
> The idea behind the virtual congress is to give authors who cannot
> travel to the congress site, the opportunity to contribute and share
> their experiences anyhow. It is expected that this will spread the
> number of potential contributors among the Spanish-speaking community.
> 
> 
> Official language
> -----------------
> 
> The preferred language of the congress will be Spanish. English
> communications will also be accepted. Authors should deliver their
> presentations in one of these two languages, except special cases
> discussed with the program committee. Authors may send additional
> translations of their papers into other languages, which will be
> included in the electronic version of the proceedings.
