IWSG-Life2011 - submission deadline extended PDF | Print | E-mail

Call for papers

There are three alternatives for researchers to present their work: talks, lightning talks, and demonstration sessions. Submission of a full paper may result in a talk, submission of an abstract may result in an lightning talk or a demonstration.

Authors of best papers will be invited to submit a significantly extended and updated version of their paper into the Journal of Grid Computing for a Special Issue on Science Gateways.

 

Full papers

All full papers will be double-blind peer reviewed and evaluated on quality and relevance. All submissions are held in confidentiality prior to publication in the proceedings. Accepted full papers will be published as open access, online-only workshop proceedings and will result in fully citable articles. The proceedings will be available online approximately one week prior to the workshop opening. Presenters will be given a 20-minute time slot (plus 5 minutes for questions) to provide a summary and update to their work.

Papers will be accepted electronically in PDF format only and are to be submitted through our EasyChair conference site. They have to be formatted according to the layout style required by the OUP bioinformatics journal. Formatting requirements can be found at: http://www.oxfordjournals.org/bioinformatics/for_authors/submission_online.html. The paper length must not exceed eight pages and the papers must be written in clear and readably English. Every accepted submission must register and pay for at least one person. We expect one of the authors to attend the workshop and present the work.

Abstracts

Abstracts can be submitted for the lightning talk or for the demonstration sessions. Authors must indicate clearly which presentation format they are aiming for. All abstracts will be double-blind peer reviewed and evaluated on quality and relevance. Accepted lightning talk submissions will be given a 10-minute time slot (plus 5 minutes for questions) in an lightning talk session.

Accepted demonstration submissions will be given a 10-minute time slot (plus 5 minutes for questions) in a demonstration session. Demonstrations will be given live to the workshop audience.

Abstracts will be accepted electronically in PDF format only and are to be submitted through our EasyChair conference site. The abstract length must not exceed 200 words and the abstracts must be written in clear and readably English. Every accepted submission must register and pay for at least one person. We expect one of the authors to attend the workshop and present the work.
