<h2>Call for Papers<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Data Science for a
Connected World: Unlocking and Harnessing the Power of
Information<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p>The theme of this year's conference is Data Science for a
Connected World: Unlocking and Harnessing the Power of
Information. This theme reflects the growing desire of
research communities, government agencies and other
organizations to build connections and benefit from the better
use of data through practicing good management, dissemination
and preservation techniques.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The theme is intended to stimulate discussions on building
connections across all scholarly disciplines, governments,
organizations, and individuals who are engaged in working with
data. IASSIST as a professional organization has a long
history of bringing together those who provide information
technology and data services to support research and teaching
in the social sciences. What can we as data professionals
with shared interests and concerns learn from others going
forward and what can they learn from us? How can data
professionals of all kinds build the connections that will be
needed to address shared concerns and leverage strengths to
better manage, share, curate and preserve data? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We welcome <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>Papers will be selected from a wide range of subjects to

<p>The Program Committee welcomes proposals for:<br>
Individual presentations (typically 15-20 minutes)<br>
Complete sessions, which could take a variety of formats (e.g.
a set of three to four individual presentations on a theme, a
discussion panel, a discussion with the audience, etc.)<br>
Posters/demonstrations for the poster session<br>
Pecha Kucha (a presentation of 20 slides shown for 20 seconds
each, heavy emphasis on visual content) <a

Round table discussions (as these are likely to have limited
spaces, an explanation of how the discussion will be shared
with the wider group should form part of the proposal).<br>
[Note: A separate call for workshops is forthcoming]. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Session formats are not limited to the ideas above and
session organizers are welcome to suggest other formats.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Proposals for complete sessions should list the organizer or
moderator and possible participants; the session organizer
will be responsible for securing both session participants and
a chair.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.iassist2012.org/index.php/CPMS/submissions2012.html">submissions</a>
should include the proposed title and an abstract no longer
than 200 words (note: longer abstracts will be returned to be
shortened before being considered). Abstracts submitted for
complete sessions should provide titles and a brief
description for each of the individual presentations.
Abstracts for complete session proposals should be no longer
than 300 words if information about individual presentations
are needed. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Please note that all presenters are required to register and
pay the registration fee for the conference; registration for
individual days will be available.<o:p></o:p></p>
