Paper Submission Procedures
(Download Call for Papers)
There are three categories of submissions: (1) papers for the
conference volume (2) papers for presentation and (3) proposals for panel
sessions.
PAPERS FOR THE CONFERENCE VOLUME
Plans are being finalized to publish a volume of peer-reviewed
papers from this meeting in the Integrated Series in Information Systems
(Springer). A paper submitted for the conference volume must describe original
work that has not been published previously and must not have been submitted for
publication elsewhere. A paper for the conference volume is limited to 6,000
words, will be refereed, and should be submitted as a PDF file by email to
info@icdss2007.org. A paper accepted for
the conference volume must be presented at the conference. Please note that the
submission deadline for these papers is May 10, 2006. Download Book Chapter

form.
PAPERS FOR PRESENTATION
A working paper may also be submitted only for presentation at
the conference. An abstract or working paper should be submitted by email to
info@icdss2007.org. The names of all
authors and affiliations should be provided, with the presenting author listed
first. A paper accepted for presentation will have the paper/abstract printed in
the conference proceedings on the web. Please note that the submission deadline
for these papers is September 18, 2006.
PROPOSALS FOR PANEL SESSIONS
We solicit proposals for panel sessions related to the
conference topics about which there are differing viewpoints and thus a need for
public discussion. Panel proposals should specify:
1. Name and affiliation of the panel moderator (usually the proposer)
2. Abstract - Questions/issues the panel will discuss (approx. 100 words)
3. A list of at least three committed panelists and their affiliations
4. Position statements from each panelist (approx. 100 words each)
We strongly encourage panels that have a mixture of academic, industry, and
government panelists. We expect that a range of viewpoints will be represented
in the panel session. The role of the panel moderator is to state the initial
relevant issues and moderate the panel session. Each panelist will then make a
short presentation of his/her position. The moderator will then direct a
discussion/debate among the panelists and encourage audience interaction.
Important Dates:
Proposals should be submitted as a WORD file by email to info@icdss2007.org by
September 18th, 2006.
Acceptance decisions will be communicated by October 2, 2006.
All panel participants (moderator and the panelists) will have to register for
the conference by November 1, 2006, for the panel to be included in the
conference program.
