The conference organisers have received multiple requests to extend the abstract submission deadline. The conference advisory group has kindly agreed to extend the abstract submission deadline until Monday 7th January 2013.
The conference was launched at the close of ECRM 2012, Bolton, UK. The Abstract submission deadline is 13 December 2012. (Extended until 7 January 2013) Full papers are due not later than 31 January 2013, however, if your paper is ready before, we would be happy to receive it as this enables us to manage the review process more effectively.

Note to Authors: Due to the large number of papers expected for this conference, the committee prefers that an author presents only one paper. However, if multiple papers are accepted for publication and presentation, each paper requires a separate registration fee. Author registration (including payment) must be completed by 9 May 2013.
