Proceedings, Journals and Book Chapters

All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings and modified version of selected papers will be published in special issues peer reviewed journals and book chapter.

Panel Discussion

Proposals from those who would like to facilitate a panel discussion are welcomed. The proposals may address any of the topics falling within the scope of the conference themes.

Panel Discussions provide an opportunity for public discussion amongst a selected group of panelists. Central to the success of a panel discussion is the choice of a good topic as the focus for discussion and panellists who bring differing perspectives and are confident in making clear arguments in a live situation. Panels should comprise of three to five scholars who present their arguments; a discussant offers critical comment on the arguments made and the discussion is opened up to the participating audience.

The proposal must include:

Title

Panel Chair(s) (if necessary)

Speakers Name, Affiliation and Email

Scope

Objective and motivation

The WCST-2011 will set aside space for those who wish to pursue discussion of a particular topic or issue. Interested individuals should submit a proposal not more than 400 words, on or before August 31, 2011. In addition, the proposal should indicate the duration of the panel discussion (preferred duration is 90 minutes).

All accepted Panel Discussion proposal will be published in the Conference Proceedings. If you are interested in organising Panel Discussion for the WCST-2011, please email your proposal to the pandiswcst.org. Submissions should be in MS Word format.

Virtual Presentation (Video Conferencing)

We understand that some presenters will be unable to make the trip to UK to present their research paper, case study, work in progress and report, mainly due to financial and/or political restrictions on travel. The WCST-2011 has therefore instituted a virtual presentation system to allow the authors of accepted papers the same publication opportunities as regular presenters. A research works submitted without the participant attending the conference in person, but presented via video conferencing are refereed and published (if accepted) in the conference proceedings.

You can submit a research paper, case study, work in progress and report for virtual presentation under the open call for papers via email to paperswcst.org

Sessions Speakers Participation

The WCST-2011 invites speakers to share their knowledge on issues or subject matters of the research work. To be a session speaker, you need to emial:

Presentation Title

Scope (300 words)

Objective and Motivation (200 words)

Name, Affiliation and Email

If you are interested in giving a talk without submiting a paper, please email your proposal to the speakerswcst.org. The proposal will be reviewed by the Steering Committees. After acceptance, you will recieve a feedback on any modification required. All accepted proposals will be published in the proceedings.
