Jan 2010
Authors of abstracts accepted
for inclusion in the conference are
asked to prepare the two documents
as explained in 1) and 2) below:
1.
FULL PAPER (6 pages, based
on the
paper template)
Full
papers will be provided on the
conference proceedings CD bearing an ISBN
number. The paper must be submitted
as an RTF or MS Word file and have a
maximum length of 6 pages. No author
information should be provided at
this stage.
The paper
must be submitted at the same time
as the EXTENDED ABSTRACT (see
2 below). Submission is done online (click
here for access).
EXTENDED ABSTRACTS will be included
in the conference proceedings book
bearing an ISBN number and published
by the University of Nottingham.
Each is allocated 2 pages in
the proceedings. EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
must have a minimum length of 750
words and a maximum of 2 pages. They
should provide a meaningful
summary of the paper and present a
concise statement of the scope,
outline of the work done, principal
findings, and conclusions of the
paper. Authors are encouraged to
make full use of the 2 pages. No
author information should be
provided at
this stage.
What is an extended abstract?
An extended abstract is not simply a
long abstract. An extended abstract
should contain references,
comparisons to related work, proofs
of key theorems, and other details
found in a full paper. Writing
a good extended abstract can be more
demanding than writing a research
paper. The extended abstract should
clearly specify the problem(s) that
the research is addressing, the
expected contribution(s) of the
work, a brief description of the
methodology adopted, results
obtained, and the conclusions
resulting from the work. Some things
that can be omitted from an extended
abstract include future work,
details of proofs or implementations, and ramifications not
relevant to the key ideas of the
abstract.
The
EXTENDED ABSTRACT must be submitted,
as an RTF or MS Word file, at the same time
as the FULL PAPER (see
1 above). Submission is done online (click
here for access).
UPLOAD OF FILES
Once the two above files have been
prepared they need to be submitted
by 'uploading' them through the
"Upload
submission files" link on
the left.

Abstract
review (COMPLETED)
COMPLETED 15 October
2009
Abstracts are peer-reviewed and
feedback is given. Paper acceptance
notifications, which could be
conditional, are then sent to the
contact author.
Authors
who have not yet received their
feedback should contact the
conference chair. This
can only happen if emails from
icccbe@nottingham.ac.uk are
being filtered out (or treated as
spams) by the receiving email
system. Feedback can alternatively
be obtained from the conference
management system by selecting "Check paper progress"
from the menu on the left.
Abstract submission (CLOSED)
Authors
need to submit a plain text extended
abstract submitted on-line (click
here for access). The abstract
should present a concise statement
of the scope, principal findings,
and conclusions of the paper and
must not exceed 3000 characters.
Authors should fit their
contributions under one of the
conference themes and should also
classify them under one or more of
the list of topics (see
Themes and
topics).
The submission should identify
one contact author who is also
expected to be the author to
register to attend the conference
and present the paper.
Abstracts are requested by 15
September 2009.
