Call for Abstracts
The Scientific Program Committee invites papers of high quality in the topical areas of interest
at ICSM2014 as given below.
Deadline for Abstract Submission
Abstracts must be submitted electronically via the web-based system (Oxford Abstracts) no later
than Friday, February 14, 2014, 11:59pm, EST (GMT+2). Late abstracts will be only accepted as
posters. Abstracts sent by mail, fax or email will NOT be accepted.
Notification of acceptance
Accepted abstracts will be notified April 1st, 2014.
Early bird registration April 28th, 2014.
Required Abstract Format
We will collect two abstracts. The short abstract (max 250 words, text only, no figures) will be
printed in the book of abstracts while the long abstract (one page, including figures and
references as given in the template) will be evaluated by the scientific program committee for
quality and presentation to be presented as oral or poster contribution. The long abstract will
be distributed digitally at the ICSM2014 conference.
Individuals submitting abstracts that are accepted agree to attend the meeting and present
their abstract as scheduled.
