Paper Submission

Program Co-Chairs Marsha Richmond and Manfred Laubichler are exploring ways to innovate in the organization of the program for 2009 to accommodate the ever-growing number of people who want to contribute at the meeting. One idea is to introduce poster sessions with incentives that encourage wide cross-disciplinary participation. Look for postings on program-organization in the Spring newsletter and at the ISHPSSB web site. ISHPSSB is approaching a size that may outstrip our ability to plan a conference in which:

• (1) everyone whose work is reasonably within the scope of the society's interests can contribute a paper
• (2) in a session that avoids severe scheduling conflicts with similar sessions for those interested in a given area,
• (3) encourages attendees to sample topics beyond a string of sessions with a limited number of organizers, and
• (4) does not result in extending the length of the conference. These are challenging, interlocking constraints and the program Chairs hope members will contribute ideas on program organization to the Program Committee.

A call for papers will appear here and via the ISHPSSB newsletter and website at a later date.
