Conference Program
(Last update: 30/6/2009 [size: 963 KB])
Dear Colleagues,
The review process of all Edutainment 2009 submissions has now been completed. This year we received 122 submissions from 25 countries. The overall quality was very good and that made it more difficult for the program committee to make decisions. In some instances we had to make a decision based not only on the paper quality but also on topic balance and how well the work fit with the themes of the conference.
We are please to announce the following papers have been accepted:
'ToE' means your paper has been selected to publish in Transactions on Edutainment, Vol. 2, No. 2 (Dec. 2009), please send us (1) your 12 LNCS pages' paper, (2) one LNCS page extended summary for publishing in the proceeding book, (3) the copyright form, by April 28, 2009.
'Full' means your paper has been accepted by Edutainment 2009 and will be published in the proceeding book (Springer's LNCS), please send us (1) your 12 LNCS pages' paper, (2) the copyright form, by April 28, 2009.
'Short' means your paper has been accepted by Edutainment 2009 and will be published in the proceeding book (Springer's LNCS), please send us (1) your 8 LNCS pages' paper, (2) the copyright form, by April 28, 2009. [Please note that the committee may have accepted your proposal under a different presentation category then the one in which you submitted. This decision is generally made on the basis of the cumulative analysis of all the submissions, and the reason may not be apparent in the comments from the reviewers.]
