Before submitting an abstract, each user must create an account / register in the Abstract submission system, which for this conference is Microsoft’s Research system: CMT. To register in this platform, click the link: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/User/Register

Once there, insert your-mail in the first field. One of two things should happen:

1. If the e-mail field turns GREEN (see image below), which means the e-mail is not yet registered. Please, go ahead and fill the rest of the form to register.
   After registration, visit this page:

2. If the e-mail field turns RED (see image below), which means your e-mail is already registered in the database. This can be because you already used this system in a previous conference or one of your co-authors filled in your e-mail in one of the abstracts already submitted to the PLPF9 Congress.
