General regulations and policies
You may not participate as a first author or presenter, in more than two sessions or as a chairperson or discussant in more than one session (maximum four appearances). You may participate as a non-presenting author as many times as you like, as long as you do not exceed the two-times-presenting-author limit.
In each submission you will need to designate a presenting author. Please note that proposals for which the presenting author has not registered by 30 May 2007will be omitted from the program, without any advance warning.
Individual proposals for Paper, Thematic Poster or CIT presentations
You will need to submit the following through the conference website:
An extended summary of 600 - 1,000 words, detailing the aims, methodology, findings, and theoretical and educational significance of the research.
An abstract of 100 - 300 words.
Full contact information, including e-mail address and affiliation, for each of the authors involved.
During submission of your proposal you will be asked to indicate the format (paper, poster or CIT session) of your proposal, to which SIG it belongs and the relevant domain of the conference. The International Scientific Programme Committee has the final responsibility to assign the individual proposals to a particular session format.
CIT applicants should indicate in detail the kind of equipment and facilities they will need. The conference venue is well equipped and a fast network infrastructure is available.
If a summary or abstract exceeds the above-mentioned word limits, the proposal submission system will only record information up to the word limit. In such a case, it will not be possible to send the rest of your summary or abstract for review.
Proposals for Symposia and Expert Panel Discussions
You will need to submit the following through the conference website:
An abstract of the symposium/panel discussion of 100 - 300 words.The abstract should provide information regarding the aims of the symposium/panel discussion and its scientific and educational relevance.
The title of the symposium/panel discussion, the title of each presentation with the name and affiliation of each author, the name of the chair, and the name of one or two discussants (in the case of a symposium).
Full contact information, including email address and affiliation for each of the participants, including the chairperson and discussant(s).
A 100 - 300 word abstract for each individual presentation. In addition, for each individual presentation we require an extended summary of 600 - 1,000 words, detailing the aims, methodology/research design, findings, and theoretical and educational significance of the research. This means that if a symposium/panel discussion consists of four individual presentations, each symposium participant should prepare a 600 - 1,000-word extended summary, making a total of four summaries (max. 4,000 words).
