Important Deadlines
Submission deadline for Extended Abstracts: 16 March 2012
Acceptance decision: 20 April
Submission of full paper: 18 May
 
The scientific programme for eChallenges e-2012 is based on an open Call for Papers and the conference language is English.
 
All extended abstracts (http://www.echallenges.org/e2012/default.asp?page=submission) must be submitted online by 16 March for double blind peer review by the International Programme Committee.
 
Papers should focus on a research or eAdoption topic on which a case study, initial or final results can be published. General project descriptions are not appropriate. All papers must highlight the level of innovation and actual or expected impact.

Please bear in mind that the extended abstracts submitted are double blind peer reviewed so they should not provide contact details within the text of the extended abstract submitted. All extended abstracts are submitted as text via a form - tables and diagrams can be submitted as part of the full paper submission in April.
 
Extended abstracts should provide a good overview of your full paper and cover the following headings:
- Introduction - Issues to be addressed
- Objectives of your paper
- Methodology Used
- Technology or Business Case Description
- Conclusions and Summary Recommendations

Workshop proposals must also be registered by 16 March http://www.echallenges.org/e2012/default.asp?page=submission-ws  Each workshop proposal should be supported by a minimum of two papers per workshop session. Authors submit abstracts via Abstract Submission process, as these will be double blind peer reviewed by the IPC.

We look forward to receiving your extended abstracts and workshop submissions by 16 March.
 
Best wishes,
Miriam
