Abstract Deadline
Platform presentation abstract for the joint meeting of the Eighth International Conference on Mathematical Chemistry and the Fifth Indo-US Workshop on Mathematical Chemistry will be accepted through November 25th, 2009. Extended abstracts will be accepted through December 1, 2009.

Abstract Review
All abstract proposals will be reviewed carefully for content, clarity and conformity to size and format instructions. Those not adhering to these standards risk rejection of their abstract. The review committee reserves the right to accept requests for platform presentations as poster presentations due to time constraints.

Book of Abstracts
All registered participants will receive a copy of the book of abstracts at the beginning of the workshop. Additional copies of the book of abstracts will be available for purchase following the conclusion of the workshop.

The organizers are currently investigating options for publishing full papers presented at the meeting in a peer-reviewed, international journal. More details will be made available on the conference website as arrangements are made.
