Call for Papers

Submission deadline has been extended to June 7, 2008 midnight EST. Submission should be made online.

All papers will be refereed by two members of the program committee. Awards will be given for ‘Best Conference Paper’, ‘Best Student-authored Paper’ and ‘Best Reviewer’. All CIST participants are required to register for CIST and the INFORMS Annual Conference. Questions can be emailed to the co-chairs. Papers should follow the guidelines specified below:

• Papers should be a maximum of 15 pages (excluding tables and figures), printable on 8.5 x 11-inch paper.
• Use a 12-point font with one-inch margins on four sides.
• Double-space throughout the paper.
• Include an abstract that explains as simply as possible the focus and contributions of the paper.
• Indicate on the front cover whether the paper is student-authored (the lead author is a student or the lead author indicates in writing that the bulk of the work was done by a student).
