Submission of full paper - instructions (closed)

Authors who have submittet an abstract for USE2009 are expected to submit a paper by September 1 (deadline) - now extended to 15 September (for poster-presenters: 21 September)!

The paper is the background for the oral presentation in the workshop - read more here . The paper is an elaboration of the submittet abstract and thereby a more profound review of the research that has been carried out.

The paper will be available on the USB flash sticks (conference proceeding) that are handed out to the conference participants at their arrival at the Lo-school. Print-stations at the Lo-school allow the participants to print selected papers of special interest before/after the oral presentations in the workshops.

The form of the paper is optional, ranging from a few pages overview to a more detailed paper. The latter is most relevant for authors who wish that their paper is taken into consideration for publishing in the 'special issue' from USE2009 - read more here .
