If the number is not great then maybe a joint session might make sense this time around.<BR/><BR/>I also have a concern about the requirement for submitting full papers. I usually avoid conference symposia where full papers are required to participate and I suspect many other do as well. It is hard enough to find time to write regular full papers and, at least in my field, symposium proceedings don't count much in our academic evaluation. There is also the issue of giving up copyright to the conference publisher and that may be a concern for some of your target participants.<BR/>What I don't have a problem doing is recording my talk and publishing the transcript. That solves the problem of sharing the benefit of the symposium for those who can't attend.Jean-Claude Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157209601339686455noreply@blogger.com
