Submissions and Proposals
TOP
 
The Scientific Program will consist of organized sessions, regular papers(20 minutes), and keynote papers(50 minutes).
Proposals to organize sessions are solicited. Session organizers are to invite authors to present papers in their sessions. Those interested in organizing a Session should send a proposal to the Scientific Program Committee in care of Thiab R. Taha(imacs@cs.uga.edu) as soon as possible.

For Session Organizers: Please provide a short abstract for your session, together with the title, speakers' names, and titles of their papers by Novemebr 10, 2008. (Proposals for sessions submitted after this date will be considered subject to the constraints of available time in the program). A final title, complete address for each one of the speakers including their Tel. #, Fax #, and e-mail, will be needed by February 10, 2009.

Each session is in principle 2 hours long. It is organized as six 20 minutes papers. (Additional papers in a session may, if there is space, accommodated as "follow up" elsewhere in the program, or as "PART II of the Session.)

Abstracts for the talks included in your session should be submitted by March 10, 2009. The abstract must be submitted using the "Openconf" software: Openconf . Please note that only one presentation per registered person is allowed.
