Abstracts / Manuscript submission deadline extended – April 11, 2010. 
The submission of abstracts, extended abstracts and full papers involves several steps. First, submit an abstract of the paper or submit "in progress" theoretical or empirical papers and case studies. Extended abstracts (3 to 4 pages) describing your study are acceptable in lieu of a full paper. The submission of extended abstracts or full papers is recommended.  Submit a proposal for a symposium on one page describing the subject, scope and potential participants. Each submission must be accompanied by the Submission Form and can be sent (uploaded) with the form or as an email attachment (see below).

When the paper/abstract is received, it will be peer reviewed by the Program Committee. Authors will receive notification by email whether their abstract was accepted, rejected or accepted with reservation. Authors will be notified later whether the paper was accepted for oral or poster presentation.

Authors of accepted submission will then receive a letter of acceptance and other appropriate instructions. In the case of multiple authors, only the corresponding author will be notified. He or she is responsible for notifying co-authors.

Once your submission has been accepted for presentation, you must register for the conference in order to present. Your allocated time for your presentation and the program schedule will be emailed to you prior to the start of the conference. Accepted manuscripts may be revised and re-submitted. In order for your paper to be included in the Conference Proceedings, you must submit your final revised manuscript before May 23, 2010
