Call for Submissions: Symposia
IAAE Conference Programs have traditionally included a number of discussion
groups, continuing over several conference sessions, with topics covering
a wide variety of issues of general interest to participants. In addition,
the last three conferences have used a symposium format structured around
a series of papers for some discussion group sessions.
Format
The format of the symposium has a chairperson, a rapporteur, and one or more consultants
as leaders. The chairperson of each group is responsible for presenting a short
paper on the symposium topic at the group's first meeting. This paper should introduce
the subject and provide a basis for in-depth and free exchange of ideas. The rapporteur
is responsible for preparing a report, summarizing the group's discussions and
conclusions.
Submissions
Proposals for Symposia are due to Jikun
Huang and Linxiu Zhang by December
15, 2005. The Symposia will involve 3-5 short presentations all related
to a common theme, with the rest of the time allocated to discussion. Proposals
should include the title for the Symposium, the name of the moderator, and the
author(s) and titles of all proposed presentations.

Computer Demonstrations
Computer demonstrations follow a format similar to a symposium. They
are structured around two or more papers that involve detailed demonstrations
of software packages of interest to agricultural economists.
Format
Computer demonstrations have a chairperson and two or more presenters.
The chairperson is responsible for presenting a short introduction on
the computer tools to be demonstrated and the theme that links the various
presentations. This introduction should provide a basis for in-depth
exchange of ideas.
Eligibility
Presenters and session organizers should be members of the IAAE.
Selection criteria are scientific quality, originality, and applicability
of the software to problems relevant to agricultural economics.
Submissions
Suggestions regarding topics and formats are welcome. One possibility
is to have a hands-on format. Provided there is enough interest and
appropriate computer facilities can be arranged at the conference venue.
Submissions must be received before November
1, 2005. The final decisions concerning the structure of selected
Computer Demonstrations will be made by December 15, 2005. You will
be advised by January 15, 2006 as to the acceptance of your session
proposal.
