Formats

The CAA 2013 Conference will include several formats for the delivery of content, including the following:

- Paper sessions

Long paper sessions (LP):

A conventional format session of related 20 minute papers with 10 minute question time. Papers should present new and ground-breaking research.

Focus sessions (FS):

A session consisting of thematically-related 5 minute key-point presentations, an optional discussant to pull the theme together, followed by a room-based breakout organised around posters or demos presenting additional information to maximise networking. Note: Focus Session papers are not ‘short papers’, they are regarded as full papers.

- Roundtables

A panel addressing a specific topic or issue, coordinated by one or more individuals. Presentations of the speakers will normally be followed by a discussant and general discussion.

- Posters

A poster session will provide an opportunity for preliminary work to be presented and discussed directly with the presenter.
All research presented at CAA2013, regardless of the delivery format, may be submitted after the conference for publication in the peer reviewed conference proceedings.

- Workshops:

The conference will include a number of half and full day pre-conference workshops. Workshops will generally include practical work or other active participation of attendees.
