Information for Authors

Each author of an accepted abstract may submit either a short paper (6–10 pages) or an extended abstract (3–5 pages). One of the authors must attend the conference and present their paper in order for it to be included in the final proceedings. Submission of the final paper assumes that authors are aware of this requirement and intend to attend and present at the conference.

We reserve right to reject papers if they don’t fit the theme of the conference, advocate a policy position, or if paper quality issues cannot be resolved in a timely manner.
