ICSDS 2012 - 30th International Conference of the System Dynamics Society

http://conference.systemdynamics.org/call-for-pape...
Submit papers and supporting materials to: www.systemdynamics.org/cgi-bin/sdsweb

Papers may be submitted from January 2, 2012 to March 19, 2012 and must be in sufficient detail for the referees to judge their meaning and value. Submissions must be in English, should be 5 ? 30 pages in length (there is also a maximum 2 MB electronic file size), and follow the submission requirements posted on the conference website. Abstracts will not be accepted.

Inclusion of models (maximum file size 2 MB in addition to the paper) and other supporting materials to aid the review process is strongly encouraged and will be a factor in paper acceptance decisions.

All works submitted will be assigned for double blind peer review. The results, with the oversight of the program chairs, will determine whether a work will be accepted and the presentation format for the work.

Notifications of acceptance will be sent by May 9, 2012. Authors retain the copyright to all submitted work and, by submitting, grant permission for inclusion in the conference proceedings.

Each paper must have a designated presenter; one individual can be a designated presenter for at most two works. Due to scheduling demands, designated presenters not registered by May 30, 2012 will have their papers automatically removed from the schedule. All attendees, whether presenting or not, must register for the conference.

Proposals for workshops and tutorials are welcome and must be submitted online.

Special proposals for plenary or parallel sessions, panel discussions, roundtable sessions and other pre- or post- conference activities are welcome. Proposals should contain a brief description of the session theme, names of organizer(s) and a tentative list of all papers to be included in the session.

Proposals are due by March 19, 2012.

Please send proposals to: programchair-AT-systemdynamics.org.

Good work in system dynamics is often relevant to multiple communities. The conference promotes the diffusion of knowledge generally and system dynamics particularly. Work that has been submitted to, accepted for, or already presented at another conference, or accepted but not yet published in a journal, will be reviewed for acceptance. An article already published in a journal, in English, should not be submitted.
