Your submission should be submitted via the form below as a Word document which includes an abstract that is relevant to one of the conference sessions. Your Email message should be titled AI Conference Paper Submission.
Please format your abstract as follows:
B. Paper Types: Select a category which most closely describes your intended paper. We note that some papers may fit into more than one category
| Category | General Descriptions |
| Research Paper | This category covers papers which report on any type of research undertaken by the author(s). The research may involve the construction or testing of a model or framework, action research, testing of data, market research or surveys, empirical, scientific or clinical research. |
| Viewpoint | Any paper, where content is dependent on the author’s opinion and interpretation, should be included in this category; this also includes journalistic pieces. |
| Technical Paper | Describes and evaluates technical products, processes or services. |
| Conceptual Paper | These papers will not be based on research but will develop and test hypotheses. The papers are likely to be discursive and will cover philosophical discussions and comparative studies of others’ work and thinking. |
| Case Studies | Case studies describe actual interventions or experiences within organizations. They may well be subjective and will not generally report on research. A description of a hypothetical case study used as a teaching exercise would also fit into this category. |
| General Review | This category covers those papers which provide an overview or historical examination of some concept, technique or phenomena. The papers are likely to be more descriptive or instructional (“how to” papers) than discursive. |
C. Author Biography:
Include a brief biography for each author, not exceeding 100 words per author. This biography should highlight the authors’ qualifications, expertise, and relevant background. Submit the biographies as a Word document using the form below.
