Submissions and Proposals
TOP
 
The Scientific Program will consist of organized sessions, regular papers(30 minutes), and keynote papers(50 minutes).
Proposals to organize sessions are solicited. Session organizers are to invite authors to present papers in their sessions. Those interested in organizing a Session should send a proposal to the Scientific Program Committee in care of Thiab R. Taha(thiab@cs.uga.edu) as soon as possible.

For Session Organizers: Please provide a short abstract for your session, together with the title, speakers' names, and titles of their papers by December 5, 2006. (Proposals for sessions submitted after this date will be considered subject to the constraints of available time in the program). A final title, complete address for each one of the speakers including their Tel. #, Fax #, and e-mail, will be needed by January 14, 2007.

Each session is in principle 3 hours long. It is organized as 6 HALF HOUR papers. (Additional papers in a session may, if there is space, accommodated as "follow up" elsewhere in the program, or as "PART II of the Session.)
Abstracts for the talks included in your session should be submitted by February 11, 2007. Please note that only one presentation per registered person is allowed.

 

Contributed Papers
TOP
 

Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract no more than one page in length by December 5, 2006. (Late submission may be considered if there is space available in the program). The abstract should include : title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address and when possible e-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number. Acceptance date: December 28, 2007.

Contributed and poster papers will be reviewed by members of the Scientific Program Committee. Organized sessions will be approved by the Scientific Program Committee. Papers accepted in these sessions will be reviewed by the Session organizer and/or external reviewers.

 

Abstracts
TOP
 

A Book of Abstracts will be published. Abstracts should be submitted in a camera-ready form (using 12 point or larger fonts) and can ONLY be one page in length. The abstract should begin with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation, and an e-mail address, and then the text of the abstract. Use TEX or similar formatting program and leave a 1-inch margin on each side. The LaTex file of your abstract and one copy should also be mailed to Thiab R. Taha.

A representative collection of contributions from the conference will be published as regular journal articles in a Special Issue of the IMACS Journal: "Mathematics and Computers in Simulation" (published by Elsevier) .
