This announcement is the formal call for Papers and Posters for AusWeb 05, to be held at Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast from Saturday 2 July to Wednesday 6 July 2005. Since its inception, AusWeb has been the primary forum for both industry and academics within Australia to discuss the rapidly evolving technologies and usage of the Web. It provides an informal and supportive environment, with the programme being designed to facilitate open discussion and debate. And, of course, the location is always wonderful!
NOTE: the AusWeb series of conferences does not require exclusive assignment of copyright by authors.
Full papers
Full papers (3,500 to 5,000 words) are designed to allow the presentation of completed research projects, reports on industry investigations and case histories. All papers will be peer reviewed by members of an expert Review Panel (including international scholars) to DEST refereed conference paper standards using a two-stage double-blind review process. Submission details are available online.
Key dates:
- Initial submission of full paper (not abstract only) for consideration : 18 March.
- Decisions: 8 April.
- Final, formatted papers to be submitted to the AusWeb server: 13 May.
- Papers published on the Web: 3 June.
