Abstract Submission

Submitting Abstracts

The proceedings of the 2006 SES conference will consist of one-page abstracts. All contributed and invited abstracts must be submitted by March 10, 2006 in order to be reviewed for possible inclusion in SES2006. Authors are required to indicate whether the abstract is intended for a general session or for a particular symposium. Abstracts intended for a particular symposium will be forwarded to the proper symposium organizer(s) for review. General session abstracts will be reviewed by the local organizing committee. Abstracts may be approved, returned to the author with required changes, or rejected in the review process. Since abstracts will be printed "as is," it is essential that the authors submit grammatically correct abstracts.

Abstracts must be electronically uploaded to the conference server. To upload a new abstract, click the button below. In case of uploading difficulties, contact the Technical Chairs, Profs. Gary L. Gray and Francesco Costanzo at ses2006@psu.edu.
Abstracts are entered in plain text (actually LaTeX) format. A very brief LaTeX tutorial is available here: LaTeX tutorial. We strongly recommend that you review the tutorial before you submit your abstract. The abstract submission form requires that your browser has JavaScript enabled.

Authors must pay the early registration fee for their abstracts to appear in the proceedings (see dates below). Early registration fees will be partially refunded in the event an author cannot attend the conference. The registration form is available on the Registration Page.

Viewing Submitted Abstracts

Submitted abstracts are forwarded to symposium organizers for review. Symposium organizers will either: accept the abstract as is, accept the abstract with revisions, or reject the abstract. When the symposium organizers evaluate your abstract, you will receive email notification of your abstract's status. Authors may view the abstracts that they have submitted by logging on with their email address and password at this page below:

Author Log On

Your email address is the same address you used when you first submitted your abstract. Authors may obtain their password from the password page below:

Obtain Author Password

Passwords will be sent from the password page to you by email. If you have lost your password, simply go back to the password page at the above link and request your password again. Send an email to ses2006@psu.edu if you have difficulties with accessing your list of abstracts.

In the case where an abstract is accepted with revisions, your notification email would contain a link to a page on this website where you could edit your abstract and resubmit it. Any abstract that is accepted with revisions may also be accessed and revised from the list of abstracts that you see when you log on. Abstracts that are accepted as is, or rejected may not be edited. If you need to make any corrections to an abstract that has been accepted as is, contact ses2006@psu.edu for assistance.

Special Publications

Full-length papers may also be published separately on the initiative of individual symposium organizers. Contact your symposium organizer or the conference Technical Chairs, Profs. Gary L. Gray and Francesco Costanzo at ses2006@psu.edu, for additional information on special publications.
