Submissions:

Authors should submit extended abstracts of their work for consideration at WISE that are no more than 5 pages long including text, diagrams, tables and references. These abstracts should be e-mailed to: by the deadline (September 10, 2005). PDF is the preferred format, but any format readable by Microsoft Word is acceptable. As this is a work in progress conference, abstracts will be evaluated based on the potential research contribution and the ability to stimulate interest and discussion at the conference. Proposed work should be sufficiently completed by the time of the conference to enable an interesting and stimulating presentation and discussion. Completed papers are not required. However, as a courtesy to our discussants, authors with accepted papers should be prepared to provide at least an outline of the results to the discussant approximately 2 weeks prior to the conference.
