2018 APSRC Program

Papers were presented at the APSRC 2018 as either a poster or an oral. Some were submitted as full peer reviewed papers and some only as abstracts.

For each Stream, the following firstly lists the abstracts then the full peer reviewed papers, all sorted alphabetically by lead author. Where available, the presentation or poster pdf is also provided. You can look through the program to find papers you are interested in, then download them from the author list below.

They are being added as they become available from the peer-review process.

Note that the Plenary Speaker presentations can be found here.
