CALL FOR PAPERS AND PRESENTATION PROPOSALS

The Forum will feature keynote speakers from industry, education institutions and international organizations. The Forum will also include a number of concurrent sessions by both academics and industry practitioners. Papers and presentations proposals relating to the aim and scope of the Forum are invited. Guidelines for submissions are as follows:

• A three-page abstract (typed double-spaced) of the proposed paper or presentation proposals should be submitted for peer review. The author's name and affiliation should only be included on the cover page of the abstract and not within the abstract itself. Please submit the abstract to the Forum Programme Chairman, Professor Haiyan Song, by electronic mail on hmsong@polyu.edu.hk .
• The deadline for abstract or presentation proposal submission is 1 August 2006 . All submitted abstracts or presentation proposals will be reviewed by a panel of independent reviewers, and the authors whose abstracts have been accepted will be invited to submit the full papers by 30 September 2006 for inclusion in the Forum proceedings.
• Once the paper or presentation proposal is accepted, at least one of the authors must register for, and present the paper at the Forum.
