Proposals must be submitted as a one-page (8.5 x 11 inch) document [PDF or Microsoft Word format].  Each submission should not exceed one page typeset in 12-point font and must include:
•       The title of the submission and the names, academic degree(s), affiliations, and locations (city, state, and country) of all authors
•       An abstract which summarizes the submission and offers the reviewers a clear reflection of the contents and key points of the coming presentation, panel, or poster.
Abstracts will undergo the peer-review process and the reviewing process is strictly confidential.

Categories of submission:
•       Papers: Authors will be considered for either a full-length presentation of 45 minutes, with 10 minutes for questions or for inclusion into a collection of presentations to be delivered during a single session.  These shorter presentations will be 10 minutes long with 5 minutes for questions.  Please indicate your preference (short or long talk) on your submission.
•       Posters: Poster presentations offer an excellent opportunity to present preliminary research and projects and offer a platform for dialog on the subject.
•       Panels:  Panels may be organized around a specific topic or may offer an innovative approach that cuts across multiple topic areas, technologies, experiences, or disciplines. There should be no more than four panelists in a given panel session.
