researchers to share emerging results at the conference. Accepted submissions
will be presented in a poster session at the conference, and the extended
abstract will be published in the new Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of
the main ICMI Proceedings. Like similar venues at other conferences, the LBR
venue is intended to allow sharing of ideas, getting formative feedback on
early-stage work, and furthering collaborations among colleagues.</span></p>
