• For selection of contributions
Extended Abstract (3 pp max)
• For inclusion into Proceedings
• Electronic version on Thumbstick + Program
No Paper!
• US participation will hinge somewhat on this
item. Conf. papers do not count much in the
US system, hence conf participants do not
want to spend time doing them, but rather
invest time into Journal pubs.
Proceedings
• No paper copy
• Instead use Digital Library System
ICHE 2006 used Drexel’s IDEA
• Based on DSPace system (MIT)
• Advantage: uses a ISBN number
• Advantage: is paperless
• Advantage: is “googleable” (indexed)
• Advantage: is for free
