Abstracts Submission Deadline is - July 12, 2009
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, or submit a proposal describing your presentation. Extended abstracts (3 to 4 pages) describing your paper 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).

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