The Allied Academies Spring 2008
Internet Division
The Allied Academies Internet Division associated with the Spring
International Conference in Tunica will be live April 2 through April 16,
2008. Below you will find links to the online Proceedings,
Program, and Power
Point
presentations (if applicable). The online Proceedings and Program
are in PDF format
requiring
Acrobat Reader to view. Although you may save and print
these files, we will be mailing Internet Division registrants hard
copies of these materials.
The Message Board System is for posting comments regarding your own
paper or other papers you have read in the Proceedings. We
strongly encourage participants to
interact, ask questions, and provide feedback to one another. If you
have any
questions, please contact
Trey Carland (who may be without Internet access during the week of
the conference).
Above you will find links to the Conference Proceedings which contains
all of the proceedings versions and abstracts submitted to the
conference (in PDF format). Please read through the table of
contents or use the find option to search for your paper. While
you are there, please feel free to read through the other papers
submitted. Please contact the author if there are
particular papers you would like to read in full. In a lot of
cases there will only be and abstract in
the Proceedings.
There is also a link to the Conference Message Board. This is
basically a chat room where participants can post comments regarding
different papers. Though direct email is always an option, we
encourage participants to use this public discussion medium in case
other participants have any insights to offer on a given subject.
This too is where you can submit your feedback regarding other papers
you have read in the proceedings. You can also use this area to
post comments or questions regarding your own work. There are some sample posts that will
show you how it works.
You will also find a link to the Conference Program. All of the
papers appearing on Wednesday are in the Internet Division. It
might be a good starting point before you dive into the Conference
Proceedings. As far as timing goes, as you can see there is
basically a two week window for participation. This should allow
you all ample opportunity to read through all of the papers that
interest you and carry on conversations regarding topics of interest,
without impending on your personal time.
The Conference Program has in the back of it a list of all of those
papers selected as Research Award Winners for the Conference. We
had a lot of high quality papers submitted for
consideration this time, which means the competition was steep.
The submissions were ranked and the top 25% selected, which means there
are quite a few of you with solid papers that were not selected.
For those of you who did win, you will receive an official letter
containing the steps necessary to submit your final version for
publication.
For those of you who were not selected to receive awards, we strongly
encourage you to follow up after the conference with a Direct Journal
Submission. There
is more information about this on the
Submission Instructions page.
If you have any other questions regarding participation or any other
details, please don’t hesitate to drop me an email. I may be
without email access for the week of the conference, but will try to catch up upon
my return. We look
forward to your participation.
Thank you,
