<b>extending the deadline for full paper as well as extended abstract submissions till April 15, 2014</b>. But owing to proper planning of the conference (e.g., ensuring availability of rooms in the conference hotel at a lower price), we are
<b>unable to extend the deadline for early bird registration</b> (which is April 01, 2014). Therefore, we encourage authors interested in availing the early bird registration rate to submit their manuscripts by March 28, 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
