Paper submission deadline extended until 31 January, 2009.
You are invited to submit proposals (full text, no abstract is required) for presentations in parallel sessions, posters or short demonstrations that relate to one or more of the conference themes.
Posters are particularly recommended in the categories of initial research, projects in early stages of development, smaller case studies, etc. Poster presentations will also be themed and moderated in related sessions.
There will also be space in the programme for a limited number of workshops, introducing a more comprehensive theme. Please, note that the workshop category is very competitive.
Demonstrations are intended to provide authors and participants with the ability to presenting works-in-progress, to showcase practical innovations, products, technologies and tools, to encourage the early exhibition of prototypes, focusing on user experience. They will offer first-hand experience, to show and discuss, to exchange ideas and collect feedback from expert users.
Posters and demonstrations will be presented in dedicated sessions. For demonstrations presenters should use their own laptops. In the room, space and power supply will be offered.
Authors of accepted papers and posters will be invited to send a 1 page summary of their contribution to be published in the Book of Abstracts that will be made available for all participants. Demonstrations accepted for presentation should send ½ page summary for the book. Registered delegates will have electronic access to the full version of contributions prior to the conference. Accepted papers (including posters) will also be published on CD-ROM and handed over to participants as part of the conference package.
Papers submitted should meet the customary academic requirements: clear aims/questions, methodology, contextualisation, results, conclusions and implications, references. The submission should make relevant contribution to the field. Submissions must be clearly written in international English, with careful language check.
