Frequently Asked Questions:
Important: No author names in body of paper or abstract. Attach a cover page with names, affiliations, phone number and email address.
(
1) What is the submission deadline and when will I know if my submission is accepted? Answer: All paper presentation and workshop/panel discussion proposals must be submitted by March 28, 2009. Submitters will be notified by email whether their proposal has been accepted, hopefully, by April 30, 2009.(2) Can a submission be done electronically? Answer: Absolutely yes! Must be.
(3) Should I submit an entire paper or just an abstract? Answer: You can submit either. The only advantage to submitting a completed paper is (so some might argue, but it is has not been proven) that it provides more information for the program committee to make its decision on possible inclusion on the program. Bottom line, if you have a completed paper, submit it, but otherwise an abstract is fine. Workshop/Panel Discussion proposals would normally only be abstracts, since such presentations generally do not result in being "completed papers."
(4) Does a completed paper eventually have to be submitted to the program committee? Answer: Basically the answer is no, but you will be asked to send a copy of your presentation to the chair and other participants of your session to help encourage discussion during the session. You are also encouraged to bring copies of your completed paper with you for distribution to interested session attendees.
(5) How long should the abstract be? Answer: The suggested length is 1-2 pages, but that is only a suggestion. Obviously, there is no maximum, since we allow submission of completed papers. So we certainly wouldn't limit the length of abstract submissions. The 1-2 pages is suggested only as a minimum. Generally speaking, an abstract much shorter than one page would likely not have enough information on what is being proposed, and how it will be accomplished, for the program committee to make a sound judgment on the appropriateness of the submission or to be encouraged that the proposal is likely to be completed.
