We invite you to submit proposals for an oral presentation, computer demonstrations or posters. Papers and presentations are rigorously peer reviewed and are published in an archival proceedings volume. The authors of peer-reviewed full papers are eligible for giving oral presentations at the meeting. Each accepted paper will be allocated up to 12 pages in the proceedings volume. If you do not wish to submit a full paper are welcome to submit a two-page abstract, which will be distributed at the meeting separately from the archival proceedings.
Authors are also welcome to display posters and give live computer demonstrations.
The awards will be given primarily to those presenting research at the conference, although students not making presentations who provide other justification will also be considered. Preference will be given to women and minority applicants, as well as to those from academic or non-profit institutions. The awards will be balanced to ensure adequate participation of young faculty, students and post-docs, and to ensure good geographic and institutional distribution. Finally, consideration will be given to the needs of the session chairs in their efforts balance the content and improve the quality of the presentations in their respective domains. Selection of the recipients will be made by the organizing committee in consultation with the various session organizers using the criteria set out above.
