The Proceedings of the Symposium
will be published on CD-ROM.
The Committee of the Multi-Scale Modelling symposium
will evaluate all submitted full papers,
with each paper being independently refereed by at least two international
experts in the field.
It is intended to have both oral and poster presentations at the
conference. Authors are requested to indicate their preference for
either oral or poster presentation when submitting abstracts.
Full versions of both the oral and poster papers will be included
in the proceedings. However due to the number of invited speakers in the symposium
the number of papers considered for oral presentation would be capped.
Authors should note the list of deadlines.
The symposium organising committee has arranged for selected
papers to be published in a special edition of the
Journal of Multi-Scale Modelling.
Deadline for receipt of
papers is 30 September 2009
ABSTRACT Submission
Intending authors are required to submit an abstract of not more
than 200 words by the deadline above. Instructions for preparation
of the full manuscript will be sent to authors whose abstracts are
accepted.
Authors are requested to indicate on the abstract their preference
for either an oral or poster presentation. Where an author submits
multiple papers for oral presentation the organising committee may,
for scheduling reasons, allocate some papers for poster
presentation.
Abstracts should be prepared using the MSWord template
msm09_abs.doc and emailed to:
cfd@minerals.csiro.au If
you prefer to submit a hard copy it should be mailed or faxed to Dr
Phil Schwarz at the address below.
