Author information

• Scientific papers with academic focus or
• Practitioner papers with more practical orientation

Notice that papers can also be shorter (around 4-6 pages), in progress or present case-experiments. Original and interesting issues and topics are welcome, and may be accepted even based on a extended abstract.

Submissions will be made through the ITA2009 submission system. Also all reviews are made using the same system.

Authors should write the papers according to the paper guidelines (paper format - sample). Papers should not exceed 12 pages. Pay attention that there is no author information anywhere in the submission so that it can be properly reviewed. Submissions must be original full-papers, unpublished, and not currently under review by any other publication or conference.

Submissions and reviews

The language of the papers and presentations is English. Authors are held responsible for all of the submitted material. It is very important that final submissions are spell-checked and follow the paper guidelines as closely as possible. Notice that at least one of the authors must register to the conference and make a presentation in the conference.

By submitting the paper, the author(s) authorize organizers to publish the paper and transfer the copyright of the submitted material to the organizers. All submissions will go through a double blind review process. In case the submitted paper is accepted and registration is done by at least one of the author(s) it will be included in the conference and published in conference proceedings (both hardcopy and CD-ROM or other media). These papers will also be available on the conference website for downloading. The authors of best papers will be invited to submit a paper extension to The Journal of eWorking for possible publication.

Use the ITA2009 submission system to make your submission before the deadline March 16, 2009. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 31, 2009.
