Past Conferences: 2016 Call for Proposals

List of sessions and organizers can be found on the Conference Website here.

The deadline for abstract submission is February, 5 2016. Each abstract will be classified by the session organizers into three categories:

  • A – Accepted abstract to be presented at the conference;
  • B – Accepted abstract as a contribution to the conference (available online) (this paper might be presented in case of drop outs);
  • C – Refused abstract. The paper will not be presented at the conference.

Abstracts should be sent by e-mail to the session organizers (addresses listed below) and in cc to rc21ciudad2016@colmex.mx. The session organizers will let you know in due time the outcome of the selection process.

Please note that stream organizers can propose a paper in another stream, but not in their own stream. Abstract should be presented in English. Conference presentations will be in English.

Authors of accepted abstracts should send an extended abstract (500-700 words) of their paper by July 1st, 2016 to rc21ciudad2016@colmex.mx. These extended abstracts will be available online. The full-length paper needs to be sent to the session chair directly.

Abstracts proposals should include the following information:

  1. The stream to which the abstract is submitted.
  2. A synthesis of the issues to be addressed in the paper, the hypothesis underlying them, the empirical and/or the theoretical basis, and the structure of the paper (300-500 words).
  3. The contact of the author(s): Name(s), affiliation, address (including postal code), a phone number (will not be made public) and an e-mail address.
