Submissions:

There are three categories for academic work submission:

  1. Extended Abstract, which will be considered for either an oral or visual presentation, which will be determined based on the nature of the research and available sessions at the conference.
  2. Extended Abstract where the author/s wish only to be considered for a visual presentation. These papers will be presented in the Ideas Factory, where presenters have the opportunity for more one-on-one discussion in a creative presentation environment.
  3. Full Research Paper, to be double-blind reviewed and published in the Proceedings. Submitting a full paper does not guarantee acceptance, nor will it be given any preference over an Extended Abstract. Full papers will be presented in either the oral or visual (Ideas Factory) sessions.

Submission Requirements are at the end of this Call for Papers.

Presentations:

Those whose academic papers are accepted will have the opportunity to present their work in either an ORAL or VISUAL presentation. ALL papers, regardless of the presentation format will be published in the Proceedings, either as Abstracts or Full Papers.

Oral Presentations:

Presenters of oral presentations will have 20 minutes allocated, consisting of a maximum of 15 minute presentation and 5 minutes for questions and discussion.

Full technical details will be provided with the acceptance of the paper as an Oral Presentation.

Visual Presentations:

Visual presentations will be held in an IDEAS FACTORY during one special session of 60-90 minutes. All presenters will be at this session, and have the opportunity to discuss their work with conference delegates. Presenters will be provided with a table and pin-board screen. The presentations themselves can be in a range of formats, from a simple poster through to visual representations on a laptop (or a combination).

Full technical details will be provided with the acceptance of the paper as a Visual Presentation.

Awards:

Awards will be given for the best Research Paper and best Visual Presentation and presented at the Conference. To be eligible for the Research Paper award, a FULL paper must be provided (from either Category 1 or 3 above) and published in the Proceedings.
