Proposal Guidelines: All proposals must be submitted through EasyChair, an online conference management system. Please follow the link below to submit a 200-350 word abstract for your proposal. If you have not submitted through EasyChair before, you will need to create an account with them before submitting. The abstract should describe your research or presentation and its relationship to the conference theme, as well as identify key research or theoretical foundations.

Include all co-authors in your application form. If you would like to submit a complete paper as a pdf, you may upload the file, but an abstract is still required. Please exclude the names of your proposal's authors from the abstract and any file you may upload, as we are using a blind review process. Submit a proposal.
