indicate what kind of submission you are making, by writing
*one* of the following on a separate line following the abstract:

to appropriate reviewers, so bear that in mind in choosing them.

- YOU SHOULD *NOT* TICK THE 'ABSTRACT ONLY' BOX. (EasyChair regards your
2-page abstract, strictly speaking, as a 'paper'.)

revealed when you hover your mouse over the EasyChair link.
