Call for Participation
The MICS Program Committee invites you
to contribute to the MICS 2014 program in one of the following ways:
Papers
To present a paper, you should submit
a 300-500 word abstract by February 15th, 2014. Upon
acceptance of the abstract, you must submit a full paper by March 29th,
2014. Abstracts must provide sufficient details to judge the
submission. Student papers are strongly encouraged, and cash awards
will be given for the best undergraduate and graduate student papers. A
paper is considered a "student" paper if a full-time student is the
primary author and presents the paper. Faculty or other students may be
listed as secondary authors. Conference registration is required for
acceptance and publication of any paper.
Poster/Software Demonstration
To present a poster session or
perform a software demonstration, submit a 300-500 word abstract
by February 15th, 2014, and a 2-3 page abstract by March
29th, 2014. Demonstrations can be stand-alone or as follow-ups to
previous presentations.
Panel Discussions
Panel discussions provide different
points of view and facilitate discussion on contemporary topics. To
host a panel discussion, submit a 300-500 word abstract by February
15th, 2014 describing the topic and proposed panel members. Moderators
for accepted panels should submit a 2-3 page document providing short
position statements from all panelists. Panel members are not
necessarily expected to make formal presentations, but instead to
facilitate discussion of the topic.
Nifty Assignments
Nifty Assignments provides a forum
for sharing ideas and materials for interesting and provocative
classroom assignments. Potential authors should submit a 300-500 word
abstract by February 15th, 2014 that describes the assignment, and
specifies the target course and underlying pedagogical concepts that
the assignment addresses. Successful authors will be expected to submit
a paper by March 29th, 2014, and provide a 20-minute
conference presentation that describes the assignment and provides
ready-to-use course materials.
