[Sigmet-officers] Sigmet-officers Digest, Vol 3, Issue 13

Dear All,

Thank you so much for all the comments and suggestions you gave toward the
paper contest planning draft.

I made some changes according to your thoughts, including:

(1) Only three winners will be selected and rewarded one-year membership of
ASIS&T, and only the first prize winner will be rewarded the conference
registration. [I am not sure about how much SIGMET can afford toward this
student paper contest. Do you have any funding plans for this?]

(2) I added to the announcement that "The research should be original works
and has not been submitted to or published by other journals or conferences
(but not ASIS&T) by the time it is submitted."

(3) I agree with all your concerns about the presentation issues on the
submissions. I think that Stasa's idea that "selected papers automatically
be admitted to main conference poster session" is very reasonable. I am also
considering that maybe we  can have the winners do posters at our workshop
and do presentations at the main conference. How do you think?

(4) I aggree with Jonathan that we should have an earlier deadline so that
students can make some revisions and submit to the main conference. The
deadline of submission for our paper contest is tentatively set to April
30th, which is about one month earlier than the deadline for main conference
submission. How do you think?

 Any other thought? All comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Best,
Chaoqun
