Make a Proposal
Session Formats
Choose the right presentation format for your proposal. Even the best ideas can be rejected if proposed for an inappropriate venue.
- Research?
Propose a Paper, to be given in a formal session with other papers and discussion - Case Study?
Present a Paper or a Demonstration, depending on whether you wish to emphasize generalizability (a paper), or your specific case (a demo) - Methods and Techniques?
Teach others in a Pre-conference Workshops (full or half-day) or Mini-workshop (1 hr)
- Debate or Problem Statement?
Engage colleagues in a Professional Forum - Product to Show?
Propose an Exhibit (commercial) or Demonstration (non-commercial) - Performance? Interaction? Service?
Propose any other format of participation + explain how it works
Multiple Proposals
Please co-ordinate your proposals with your collaborators. Multiple proposals about the same project will not be successful. Proposals for sessions should be submitted as individual papers with a covering note. Each paper will be reviewed individually. Full sessions are rarely accepted.
Proposal Submission
Submit your proposal using our on-line form.
Proposal Review
MW2010 Program Committee and the MW2010 Co-Chairs will review all proposals and make selections for the conference program.
The Program Committee will communicate its decision by email to the address(es) given in your proposal. Successful proposers must return the Speaker Acceptance Form (PDF).
Acceptance may be conditional upon refining the proposal, and may require the submission of a revised abstract. The Committee may judge that a different format is more appropriate for the proposed content, e.g. a Demonstration rather than a formal Paper, and offer an alternative slot in the program.
The results of the Program Committee's review will be communicated by November 30, 2009.
The decision of the MW2010 Program Committee is final.
Written Papers
Written papers are required for all presentation types except Demonstrations and Workshops (where they may be optionally submitted).
Papers are due January 31, 2010, and must follow the Guidelines for Papers.
Meeting Registration
All paper presenters are expected to register for the full MW2010 conference and pay the appropriate fees. See the Registration page for details.
