Conference Presentation

Accepted submissions will be published in a digital Proceedings (with print option) and delivered in fifteen to twenty-minute presentations during conference paper sessions. Accepted authors, who chose, will be requested to complete a full-paper, copyright transfer form and agree to present the paper at the Fall Conference before it is published in the Proceedings.

It is policy that accepted authors pay full conference registration to present at the conference and be included in the proceedings.

Chairs reserve the right to withhold a paper from the program if the author has refused to comply with the guidelines. Failure to comply with the conference deadlines or request for materials in advance may result in an author being dropped from the program.
