In 2013, participants will have the option to participate in four types of presentations:

1. Paper presentation - this involves a single or multiple author presentation of completed research. Authors are invited to submit a paper (3,000 words plus references) for reviewing and inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. Time allocation: 30 minutes.
2. Symposium - this involves multiple authors presenting their completed research on a similar topic in a session with a discussant. Authors are encouraged to submit one document with multiple papers for reviewing and inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. Time allocation: 90 minutes.
3. Roundtable - this involves a table of 5-6 presenters and provides the ideal opportunity for some sustained discussion on a research project. Individual presentations are limited to 5 to 10 minutes, with some planned questions and topic areas for discussion; and the remaining 20 to 25 minutes used for group discussion. Presenters are invited to submit a paper (3,000 words plus references) for reviewing and inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. Total time allocation for roundtable: 60 minutes.
4. Posters - This year’s conference will be utilising the venue’s state of the art facilities by presenting posters in electronic format for the first time. Poster presenters are asked to prepare their posters using Microsoft PowerPoint (4:3 size setup). Poster presenters should prepare no more than three content slides to communicate the subject of their posters. Posters will then be presented during a designated timeslot in the program, in an informal ‘speed-dating’ style session, with approximately 5 minutes allocated to each poster presentation. Fellow delegates will have the chance to go between posters at their leisure and interact with the poster presenters.

There are some useful websites with advice about poster presentation, including (but not only): http://www.siam.org/meetings/guidelines/poster.php

Note:
Contributors need to clearly identify the category or type of presentation being submitted. All abstracts will be reviewed by the Conference Committee. Abstracts accepted for presentation at the Conference must include all details outlined in the format requirements.

Papers submitted for peer review and publication in the Conference Proceedings should be 3,000 words in length plus references. Papers exceeding this word limit will not be reviewed.
