The "abstract" will be shown as the first paragraph of the description of your<br>
talk on the website, and may sometimes also be used as the full<br>
description in space-constrained locations.<br>
<br>
The "full description" is shown as the next paragraph, when space is<br>
available.<br>
<br>
The submission notes are not shown on the website at all, and are only<br>
available for you if you want to provide further information that is<br>
only relevant to help the program committee or the devroom organisers<br>
decide whether to accept your talk. They may also use that field to<br>
provide feedback to you about the talk.<br>
