Paper submission

Paper submission is closed. Submission deadline was July 15.

 

We invite submissions of two types of papers to the EIBA 2014 Conference: Competitive papers and Interactive papers. We also invite submissions of panel proposals.

Competitive papers should be close to a publishable state, whilst interactive papers may be in an earlier stage of development. In competitive sessions, the finished papers are at the forefront, while the interactive sessions allow authors to discuss their ongoing research under the guidance of (other) senior scholars. Panel sessions are proposed around a focused innovative theme or topic (for submission guidelines, see below).
