Types of contributions accepted to ISSI 2007:

Full papers, research-in-progress papers and posters are accepted for this conference. The category "research-in-progress papers" is meant to enable participants to present ongoing research, and particularly their most recent work that is not yet fully completed at the time papers are to be submitted. A research in progress paper is shorter than a full paper (see below). The authors should clearly outline the central objective or hypothesis of the research, and present preliminary or intermediary results. If they intend to present their most recent findings (not yet available at the submission date) at the conference, they should clearly indicate their potential significance.

No more first submissions are accepted as the Call for full and research in progress papers and posters are now closed.

Authors are requested to submit their final accepted contributions using the ISSI 2007 electronic submission form:
