Competitive Papers. Competitive papers are invited on, but not limited to, the topic areas listed below. All submitted papers will be reviewed by qualified individuals and go through a double blind peer review process. In addition, we welcome the submission of one-page single spaced research abstracts (about 900 words). Acceptance of abstracts and papers are subject to final approval by the Track Chairs/Program Chair. Accepted papers and abstracts of authors who have registered for the conference by the close of online registration will be scheduled for presentation at the annual meeting and the presented papers and abstracts will be published in the Proceedings (available website only). Paper submission acknowledges that the author(s) will register for and attend the conference, and personally present the accepted paper at the time specified in the conference program.
 
Submission Policy. The submission of a paper or abstract means the author certifies it is not copyrighted, has not been accepted for publication in a journal or proceedings, has not been presented or accepted for presentation at a professional meeting, or is not under review currently for a journal or proceedings, or presentation at another professional meeting. Concurrent submission and/or presentation of the same or similar paper at another conference is considered a breach of professional ethics.
 
Program Participation. Paper reviewer and session chairpersons will be needed for the program to be a success. Please contact the Program Chair or one of the Track Chairs by October 31, 2024, if you are interested in serving as a session chair or reviewer. Symposia, tutorials, and workshops on current topics are invited. Please contact the Program Chair concerning these proposals.
 
Distinguished Paper Awards. Distinguished paper awards will be presented to the outstanding papers.
 
Student Papers. Up to three cash awards for student papers will be presented. Papers submitted in the student track must be solely of student authorship. Watch the SWDSI website for information about a Doctoral Student Consortium.
