All papers must be original, unpublished, and not currently under review by any other publication or conference. By submitting the manuscript for consideration, authors stipulate that they hold the copyright to the manuscript and, upon acceptance, transfer it to the Informing Science Institute.  Authors also agree to assume all liability in case of copyright dispute.

    Highly rated papers will be fast-tracked for publication in an Informing Science Institute journal.  All other accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

    Following are the specific requirements for each type of submission:
