Actions due for accepted papers

Caveat

Please, notice that at least one author per paper (oral or poster) is requested to register and to settle the conference fees not later than ~~May 30, 2012~~ June 3, 2012.

In the case that no conference fees have been paid before such deadline, the paper will be removed immediately from the ESREF 2012 program and will NOT be published neither in the proceedings, nor in the Microelectronic Reliability journal.
