[Sigsti-l] Panels ASIS&T 2013 "Beyond the Cloud" ?

[Joe Hourcle]

It seems that the website for submitting panels is up:
	http://www.softconf.com/asis/AM_13_Panels_and_Technical_Sessions/

... but I can't find the call for participation posted online.

Moriana sent me a scan, so I've retyped (most of) it so that everyone can
be confused by my typos and such.  (and if you don't have a fixed-width
font, this may look really bad)

... and I'm going to follow up with another e-mail of some of the ideas
thus far.

          Beyond the Cloud: Rethinking Information Boundaries

   The continuing development of computing and mobile technology and the
ongoing evolution of the Web environment provide new ways for accessing,
acquiring, retrieving and storing information which constantly defy
traditional boundaries.  With the growth of digital content, information
objects are blurred and challenge information organization.  As more
people interact and exchange knowledge and information on the Web and the
cloud, information environment are transformed and human information
behaviors are shifting.  As information use is increasing and becomes
more complex, the need for meaningful integration and analysis is growing.
The ASIST Annual Meeting is the main venue for disseminating research on
advances in information science, information technology and related topics.
This year's conference theme offers an opportunity to reflect on all of
the changes that impact on human information interaction and their
implications for information science and technology.  Submissions are

Types of Submissions
1) Papers: [I really don't feel like typing this whole thing ... up
   to 10 pages, will be double-blind reviewed, must be recent original
   results]
   http://www.softconf.com/asis/AM_13_Contributed_Papers/

2) Panels:  The proposals for panels on topics that can be either
research- or practice- oriented are welcomed.  The topics range from
emerging cutting-edge research and design, analyses of emerging trends,
opinions on controversial issues, analyses of tools and techniques,
to contrasting viewpoints from experts in complementary professional
areas.  Panels must have a cohesive theme and promote lively discussions
between panelists and audience members.  Proposals should provide a
description (2-4 pages) of the issues to be discussed, and a list of
panelists who have agreed to participate with their qualifications
and contributions to the panel.
