Call for Papers Announcement

The International Association of Societies of Design Research (IASDR) will have a conference 12-15 November, 2007 at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. This is a large, international design research conference with an intensive and high quality program. Keynote speakers will be invited from other disciplines—the social sciences, computing, and business, for example. Multiple paths through the papers will be suggested to help participants find synergies among people and papers. Ample time will be available for informal meeting and discussion. Please consider your research interests and consult your calendar for availability.

The schedule for abstract and paper submission is as follows:

February 27	Abstracts deadline
March 26	Paper selection & invitation
June 1	Full paper due
August 1	Review back to author
September 1	Complete paper

Review Process for Full Papers
Abstracts are limited to 400 words and a bibliography. Full papers are limited to 6,000 words. Two appropriate reviewers in a double blind process will review the abstract. Invitation to submit a full paper will be accompanied by reviewer comments and suggestions. Every attempt will be made to use one of the original reviewers to read and comment on the resulting full paper draft. This set of comments will be sent to the author to help polish the paper for final submission.

Poster Proposals
Poster proposals are limited to 200 words. A small committee will review poster proposals and respond to authors regarding suitability, sharing any suggestions or comments. The minimum poster size is one vertical A0 (841mm wide x 1189mm high) and the maximum is two vertical A0 (side by side).
