• Reflection Papers – These might review recent research literature pertaining to a particular problem or approach, indicate what the findings suggest, and/or provide a suggestion - with rationale and justification - for a different approach or perspective on that problem.

• Virtual Presentations (Non-Attending Authors) - If for any reason you cannot attend the conference in presence, you can still present your paper or poster. This means that the quality of a scientific conference (with the peer reviewed submissions, the publication in a book and CD with ISBN) comes together with the benefit of being at your office or at home, independently of time zones, and other restrictions, by taking part in the conference through a virtual presentation (detailed procedures here).

This is a blind peer-reviewed conference.
