Call for Presentations Abstract submissions are now being accepted for the Fifth Indo-US Workshop. The workshop program will include keynote speakers as well as oral and poster presentations. You are invited to submit a proposal for a presentation that shares your original research. Only scholarly, well-documented presentations will be accepted. The organizers will be accepting abstract submissions for platform presentations through April 25th, 2008. Poster abstracts will be accepted until June 6th. Presentation Options Platform Presentations Presentations will be 40 minutes long (including 5 minutes for questions). More details on acceptable presentation formats will be provided in the near future. Poster Presentations Poster display boards (10 feet wide by 6 feet tall) will be provided for poster presentations. We recommend that posters not be more than 3 feet tall, so that the posters do not hang too low on the display boards.

Abstract Review All abstract proposals will be reviewed carefully for content, clarity and conformity to size and format instructions. Those not adhering to these standards risk rejection of their abstract. The review committee reserves the right to accept requests for platform presentations as poster presentations due to time constraints.
