The program committee invites submissions of proposals for a presentation or panel discussion, or a tutorial addressing some of the above eB/eG topics. Submissions will be judged not only on the quality and originality of the material, but also on how well they draw valuable lessons and contribute to a better understanding of the current status, the future prospects of eB/eG, the role and relevance of emerging technologies. Submissions should relate either to existing eB/eG standards in some way, or to requirements for such standards.

The Program Committee reserves the right to adapt or restructure proposals submitted to ensure an interesting and technically compelling program. Below are a few more details regarding the Symposium presentations:

• Presentations may fall into the "long" category (40 minutes including questions) or "short" (20 minutes), depending on the points they convey and the level of detail suitable for a general audience. Authors may express their wish for a long or short presentation, although the program committee may in some cases decide differently due to program constraints.


• Panel sessions should be 60 minutes in length. Proposals for panels should include the topic, three to four potential panelists (name and/or role) and proposed format (e.g. Q&A, short presentations).


• Tutorials should be half-day sessions. Tutorial proposals should state intended audience and learning objectives. They may fall outside the previous submission topics provided that they are of general interest to the audience.


• OASIS will publish online proceedings of the Symposium. Authors should arrange any necessary releases for publication prior to submitting proposals.


• Deadline for submission is 5 January 2007. All submissions will be acknowledged. Speaker substitutions are not permitted, except in the case of an emergency and are subject to Program Committee approval.
