Authors and presenters are invited to submit papers of approximately 3000 to 4000 words for presentation at SASGI 2013.

  

Presenters (i.e. one person per paper presented) may attend the conference on the day of presentation at no cost, but if the presenter wishes to attend the full conference and hospitality functions (refreshments, lunches, cocktail party, etc.), then a reduced delegate fee of

R1650 + VAT applies.

  

Publishing of papers presented at SASGI 2013

  

Papers will be selected on the basis of their significance, relevance, correctness, originality and clarity following a review process (see below). Upon acceptance, the final papers will be published in the printed Proceedings of the SASGI 2013 Conference (ISBN 978-0-620-56780-0), as well as on the conference CD and website.

  

  

Papers should be approximately 3000 to 4000 words in length, relevant to the themes and subject matter of the conference, of general interest and relevance to the target audience. While it is accepted that proprietary technologies, products and services may be described, papers should be generic in nature and should not have an overtly self-serving or commercial content. Authors and presenters should aim to serve the needs of readers and conference delegates, provide appropriate solutions, and share knowledge and experience.

  

  

Papers must follow the defined paper template and style-sheet available at the SASGI 2013 conference website.

  

• Following a formal call for papers commencing 13 March 2013, the title, principal author, abstract/synopsis, brief CV of the presenter, and the final full-text paper in editable MS Word format must be submitted here by 18 June 2013.
• The abstracts and papers received will be reviewed and selected by the SASGI 2013 papers committee based on their stature, significance, relevance, correctness, originality, clarity, availability of space, and other considerations.
• Authors and presenters will be advised the outcome of the selection by 24 June 2013.
• The final full-text papers for the conference CD and printed Proceedings of the SASGI 2013 Conference will then be collated and printed by 18 July 2013 for insertion into the delegate bags.
