Announcement: Virtual Participation in IMSCI 2009 is Now Possible =======================================================

Submissions made for Virtual Participation will go trough the same reviewing processes of the regular papers (double-blind, non-blind, and participative peer reviewing) and, if accepted (according to the same acceptance policy), they will be included in the proceedings and will be eligible for journal publication if they are, according to their reviewers, among the best 10%-20% of those physically and virtually presented at the conference.
Each regular session, included in the conference program, will be associated to a corresponding virtual session where all final versions of the articles to be presented will be displayed and authors can comment them via electronic forums. Registered authors of virtual participations will have access to all conference program sessions via their respective associated virtual sessions. Their article will be displayed like the regular ones. Virtual authors also have the option of sending, besides the final version of their article in a PDF document, an electronic presentation (PowerPoint, flash, etc. and/or a 15-20 minutes video).
After paying the respective shipping and handling costs, registered authors of virtual participation, who paid their registration fee, can get delivered the same conference material that the regular attendees receive at the registration desk.
Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference will have access to the reviews made to their submission so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors may not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions.
Awards will be granted to the best paper of those presented at each session. From these sessions' best papers, the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference will be selected for their publication in Volume 7 of JSCI Journal (http://www.j-sci.com/Journal/SCI/). Libraries of journal authors' organizations will receive complimentary subscriptions of at least one volume (6 issues).
Best regards,

Gapminder
Enligt Wikipedia beskrivs Gapminder enligt följande: Gapminder är en stiftelse som bidrar till en god global utveckling genom att göra statistik lättare att använda och förstå. Verksamheten startade med utveckling av och spridning av programvara för att på ett begripligt sätt åskådliggöra statistik om mänsklighetens utveckling. Grundare är Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund och Hans Rosling. Arbetet görs i samarbete med bl a FN och universitet och bedrivs utan vinstintresse. I mars 2007 såldes mjukvaran trendalyzer till Google som avser vidareutveckla den för fri tillgång till offentlig statistik. Stiftelsen Gapminder fortsätter att använda den utvecklade mjukvara för berätta om global utveckling med hjälp av animerad statistik.
