Housing is a basic human right.
That is the simple belief that has driven Sam Tsemberis's work for more than 20 years. Known as the father of the Housing First model, Tsemberis founded Pathways to Housing on the east coast in 1992 to address chronic homelessness.
Chronic homelessness refers to individuals who suffer from mental illness, substance abuse problems or physical disabilities and have been homeless for at least one year or have experienced four episodes of homelessness over the past three years.
On Thursday, Tsemberis spoke to about 450 service providers and advocates gathered at Salt Lake City's Sheraton Hotel for Utah's 9th Annual Homeless Summit.
Tsemberis credited the success of the Housing First approach to having included key stakeholders chronically homeless individuals in designing the solution.
With their input, Tsemberis said he gained a new perspective.
"Poverty is what drives their day-to-day existence," Tsemberis said.
According to Utah's 2012 Comprehensive Report on Homelessness released Thursday, an estimated 16,522 people in Utah experienced homelessness a 15 percent rise over the previous year. And families accounted for 45 percent of that population.
That increase puts Utah's homeless rate at .6 percent of the state's total population, which is the same level as 2005 when the state embarked on its 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness, said Gordon Walker, director of Utah's Housing and Community Development Division.
"We've been very successful in reducing chronic homelessness," Walker said, "But over that same period of time the [overall] percentage of people experiencing homelessness has gone up and down."
In 2005, more than 1,900 people were chronically homeless in Utah or about 14 percent of the state's homeless population. The number of Utah's chronically homeless has now dropped to 542 people or 3 percent of the state's homeless.
In 2012, Utah housed 559 such individuals in apartment complexes built specifically to provide safe and stable units with on-site support services.
Vaughn Davis. a certified nursing assistant for 28 years, lost his apartment in the Avenues in December 2006 when he could no longer work. In shock that he was suddenly "homeless," he found his way to The Road Home, a shelter in downtown Salt Lake City.
Davis moved into the Kelly Benson Apartments in West Valley City two years ago, structures that were freshly built to house the chronically homeless. At Thursday's summit, the audience gave him a standing ovation as he shared his story.
"I told myself I wouldn't do this," Davis said as his tears began to flow. "I can't express my gratitude enough. I feel like I'm starting to be able to give back to the community everything they gave to me."
Davis works a part-time job at Kelly Benson's front desk and also serves on various committees that advocate for the homeless.
Permanent supportive housing such as Kelly Benson also benefits the bottom line, Walker said.
"The cost, if you leave a chronically homeless person on the street, is about $20,000 a year," Walker said. "However, if you house that person and give them supportive services, the cost to the state and all the entities is about $8,000, so it's a significant savings."
Tsemberis received hearty applause when he blasted the Good Landlord programs that many cities have adopted that bar individuals with criminal backgrounds from renting.
"If you want to end homelessness, you have to embrace more risk," Tsemberis said. "With the current setup, one goal is inhibiting the other."
He also cautioned against the tendency to "label" people.
"That separates you from their experience," Tsemberis said. "You want to go as far out on a limb for everyone in this community as you would for your own people because these are our own people."
According to pathwaystohousing.org, more than 400 cities in the United States and Canada have 10-year plans to end chronic homelessness and 70 percent of those cities, Salt Lake City among them, have Housing First programs.

Eric Clapton tops Silverstone Classic Greatest Rock Guitarist poll
Listen to Eric Clapton on iHeartRadio
Eric Clapton is getting the nod as the best rock guitarist ever. He's topping the list in a new poll in conjunction with the upcoming Silverstone Classic, a three-day event featuring auto racing and classic cars.
Nearly 2,000 people took part in the online survey, in which they were asked to pick their three favorites from a list of 12 guitar legends. The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, and AC/DC's Angus Young were also vying for the informal title, along with The Who's Pete Townshend, Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, Neil Young, and Slash. Chuck Berry, blues greats B.B. King and Albert King, and guitar pioneer Les Paul were also in the poll.
The 2013 Silverstone Classic Rocking and Racing festival will take place throughout Northamptonshire, England from July 26th through the 28th. The Hollies are this year's featured act at the event, and will be the day-two concert headliner.

Undergraduate Education
Undergraduate Degree Programs
USC is a major university providing diverse academic programs. As such it has evolved into a complex organization. The basic underlying principle in its organization is simple: groups of faculty with similar areas of knowledge and interest are grouped together to form departments or schools. These units work together in determining the courses to be offered, requirements for degrees, and the content and rationale underlying their curricula.
In practice, the organization becomes more complex. Certain areas of study are based on broad areas of knowledge which need to draw faculty from several departments. The following list of undergraduate degrees provides a guide to the organization of USC. The index includes all degrees offered, and the school which administers the degree.
The basic undergraduate degrees are the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science. Students may obtain these degrees in a variety of majors that have been formally approved. More specialized degrees, such as a Bachelor of Music, require more undergraduate study devoted to professional training.
Area of EmphasisAn Area of Emphasis is a specific focus within a major. Areas of Emphasis are listed within parentheses following the appropriate majors and do not appear on diplomas but are indicated on transcripts.
Combined ProgramA combined program is an organized set of requirements from two academic units in a single undergraduate degree program that combines two majors. Examples are: Linguistics/Psychology, Physics/Computer Science and Biomedical/Electrical Engineering.
Double Major Within the College of Letters, Arts and SciencesA double major consists of two majors which allow the student to earn the same degree, either a B.A. or B.S. degree, conferred by the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. The College of Letters, Arts and Sciences offers two kinds of majors, "departmental" and "interdepartmental" (see Undergraduate Programs). A double major may consist of two departmental majors, two interdepartmental majors, or one departmental and one interdepartmental major. All double majors require a minimum of 12 upper division courses. Some upper division courses may count for both majors. For double departmental majors two upper division courses may count toward both majors. For departmental and interdepartmental majors, three upper division courses may count toward both majors.
Other Double MajorsDouble majors may be offered in other schools. The two majors must be offered by different departments but lead to the same degree, such as a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Music. Double majors consisting of two majors in the same department are not permitted.
Progressive Degree ProgramsThe progressive degree plan enables an undergraduate student to begin an integrated program of study joining bachelor's degree and master's degree programs in the same or different departments. This option is available to outstanding USC undergraduates who have completed 64 units of course work at USC, and often results in a more expeditious completion of the master's degree than otherwise would be possible.
Students are admitted to the master's degree at the completion of the sixth semester. Progressive degree students must fulfill all requirements for both the bachelor's degree and the master's degree except for the combined total number of units for the degrees. The bachelor's degree can be awarded first. Further details about progressive degrees can be found in the Requirements for Graduation section.

Lawyer Seeks Release of New Braunfels Teen on First Amendment Grounds
The lawyer for a Texas teenager who is facing felony charges of making terroristic threats due to a flippant comment made on Facebook said today he is preparing a motion to have the charges against Justin Carter dismissed on First Amendment grounds.
Donald Flanary told Reuters he expects a hearing on the motion as soon as August 12.
"The First Amendment is a very important foundational right in our society, and the Supreme Court has said in a number of cases that in order for somebody's First Amendment freedoms of expression to be limited, there must be an actual threat," Flanery said.
In a case which has attracted worldwide notice and focused attention on the limits of free speech on the Internet, Carter, 19, was engaged in a Facebook discussion in February about the on line game 'League of Legends.' When another participant said he was insane, Carter typed, according to court documents, "I'm f***ed in the head alright, Ima shoot up a kindergarten and watch the blood of the innocent rain down and eat the beating heart of one of them."
A month after that incident, Carter's home was searched and he was arrested. A grand jury indicted him in April on charges of Terroristic Threat, a felony carrying a punishment of between 2 and 10 years in prison.
Flanary says that does not meet the legal definition of 'an actual threat' which the Supreme Court said was necessary in its 1968 Brandenburg Decision, which remains the defining standard for free speech. In that case, the justices overruled filing criminal charges based on 'fighting words,' and said that in order for any speech to lose its Constitutional protection, the speech must be 'directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.' That has come to be known as the Brandenburg Test, or the 'imminent lawless action' test.
"It is clear and obvious from anyone who reads what he is accused of saying, there was no intent to threaten anyone, and the statement was made sarcastically," Flanary said.
He said Carter actually followed the statement with LOL and JK, Internet shorthand for 'Laugh Out Loud' and 'Just Kidding.'
Chicago Attorney Wayne Giampietro, who is a member of the First Amendment Lawyers Association, says the Brandenburg Test applies whether the speech is spoken, or posted on line.
"There is no reason why the settled First Amendment law should not apply with equal force to comments like this on Facebook," he said. "The only difference is the medium in which the comment was made. The rights under the First Amendment remain the same. I believe the attorney is on solid ground."
Carter's case has turned into a cause on the Internet. More than 75,000 people have signed a petition on the web site 'change.org' calling for the charges to be dropped.
"His response may have been in bad taste, but it was written in a non threatening way that didn't translate well on line," Carter's mother Jennifer Carter of Maitland Florida wrote on the petition. "None of his friends or family would even question his intention as anything other than a poor choice of words. My son is not a felon and terrorist as he is currently charged."
Flanary says an on line 'Good Samaritan' posted Carter's $500,000 cash bond and allowed him to be released from jail in Comal County, located along I-35 between San Antonio and Austin, last week.
"He is doing much better now," Flanary said. "He is so thankful to all people from all over the country who have come to his support."
Carter told CNN that his case shows that people should be 'very very careful about what they say on line.'
"If you say it on any website anywhere you can get in trouble for something that's not something you should get into trouble for," he said.
Comal County District Attorney Jennifer Tharp declined comment, but she released a statement saying that a 'defendant who has never previously been convicted of a felony may be eligible for community supervision or deferred adjudication.' She said in the statement she will have no further comment.
"We believe that we will be successful in having this case dismissed," Flanary said.

From the NY Times Slap Shot blog:
The Rodney Dangerfield of the N.H.L, the Nashville Predators, are the
only club unbeaten in regulation this season. They've earned 13 of a
possible 16 points with five wins and three overtime losses, good enough
to be first overall in the league.
They are never discussed as one of the better teams in hockey,
because they have no playoff success. But almost annually, Nashville
sneaks up on everyone and puts a scare in their post-season opponents.
In two of the last three seasons, the team that knocked them out in the
first round went on to win the Stanley Cup, but not without some
anxious moments.
It is early and the Western Conference is strong, but imagining a
Predators playoff run this year is no wild dream.
The difference this season is their strong start. Last season, after
eight games, they had only won once in regulation and lost six straight.
This weekend, their two road wins came without their best all-around
defenseman, Ryan Suter, and against two of the league's early surprise
teams. They shut out Dallas, 1-0, with goalie Pekka Rinne stopping all
30 shots he faced. Then, following a flight that didn't land until 3
a.m., they polished off Tampa Bay, 4-3, behind rookie goalie Anders
Lindback, who turned aside 42 Lightning shots.
Lindback is 6-foot-6 and Rinne is listed as 6-foot-5. That's
literally standing tall in goal. Play-by-play man Pete Weber remarked
during the post-game wrap from Tampa (video)
that the Predators have "almost 13 feet of goaltender" this season.
It's no joke that these two have combined for a .939 save percentage,
second in the league to Boston's .946 (which is all thanks to Tim
Thomas's great start).

While we both used JDate, we took different paths to finding each other. Craig was familiar with online dating and had been on JDate for a while, but for me, JDate was the first online dating site I ever tried. In the first month that I signed up for JDate, I received a message from Craig; I remember being very excited because we had a lot in common. We messaged back and forth for a few weeks on JDate because I was in the process of moving and Craig was out of town for a while, so our first date was not until about a month later.
On our first date we went to Dodger's Stadium where we enjoyed nachos and talked the entire time. We continued to grow in our relationship and enjoyed meeting each other's families and friends. We both realized pretty quickly after our first meeting that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. We got engaged a little over a year after we first met and are now busy planning a wedding for the spring of 2015.
Thank you JDate for helping us find each other. We couldn't be any happier!

Try grub2
Boot to live disk and sudo apt-get install grub2
Hi, I've searched around a bit, and can't quite come up with a solution. This is my second attempt at dual booting backtrack and windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 600m (with the latest bios available-A17).
On my first attempt, I created two partitions, one for xp, one for backtrack. I cloned an xp installation to the first partition, then installed backtrack to the other partition. I got ERROR 18 when grub started loading.
On my second attempt, I installed Xp from an image, using the entire disk. I then booted into the BT4 cd, and installed, using the instructions here: Dual Boot | BackTrack Linux - Penetration Testing Distribution
I still get grub error 18.
On the last install, I left a 300Mb partition of unused space at the beginning of the drive. Is my answer to move /boot to there, as I've read? If someone could point me in the direction of how to do this, I'd appreciate it greatly.
I downloaded supergrub, and can see both installations, and boot to them using supergrub.
Is there a way to reinstall or fix grub so that I can boot either OS?
Thanks to everyone.

MONROVIA - Worried that federal funds may be in jeopardy, school district officials are reviewing their relationship with an internet service provider, according to documents obtained by this newspaper.
The Monrovia Unified School District contracts for internet service with the Foothills Education & Technology Partnership. The contract has run since 2003. The district's former superintendent is married to the partnership's executive director.
Questions about the relationship were raised by board member Rob Hammond. A former mayor, Hammond asked Superintendent Linda Wagner last week for a staff report "with a full legal opinion" after Wagner outlined several concerns regarding the relationship in a memo to the school board.
In that memo, Wagner, who sits on the FETP board, expressed concern that the relationship between the district and FETP might affect the district's ability to receive federal funds for technology.
The nonprofit organization, which formed in 2003, provides internet service to seven San Gabriel Valley school districts: Monrovia, Duarte, Pasadena, Mountain View, Burbank, Arcadia and San Gabriel.
Wagner said the district will "definitely be assessing our risk and we will be talking to lawyers" though the school board will need to determine what happens next.
"If (FETP) were not to correct the concerns, we would seek another provider after a reasonable period of time had passed," Wagner said Monday.
FETP's income relies heavily on E-Rate funds from member districts, which are obligated to ensure that the funds are spent appropriately. The E-Rate program is regulated by the Federal Communication Commission. It helps schools get affordable telecommunications and Internet access.
Wagner said she was also concerned that the FETP board has three members instead of five, which violates its own bylaws. She also expressed concern that its current structure might pose a conflict of interest.
FETP "by definition is run by superintendents" who serve on the organization's board, Wagner said. "In a way, we're buying services from ourselves."
Clint Taylor, executive director of the Foothills Education & Technology Partnership, said the organization is addressing "each of the concerns (Wagner) has raised."
The nonprofit organization board has met twice in the last year and will meet again likely within the next 60 days, Taylor said.
Taylor said the nonprofit is "trying mightily" to increase its number of board members and will continue to do so.
The FETP board has also commissioned a School Services of California report to study the FETP, which is focusing mainly on salary and compensation issues, and will make suggestions for improvements, Taylor said.
Wagner said the FETP board will seek legal counsel and consult with E-rate specialists on what should the organization do and how the organization should be structured.
Bryan Wong, Monrovia's school board president, said the board is still waiting to get a clear picture of what is happening so that it can make a decision, if necessary.
A 2010 audit by Monrovia Unified's auditor found that two apparent conflicts of interest in the district's relationship with FETP should have been disclosed to the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), which administers the E-rate program.
The school district's superintendent until 2009, Louise Taylor, is married to FETP Executive Director Clint Taylor. In addition, the district's former director of technology services, Bob Geiger, was a consultant for FETP.
Both Clint Taylor and Geiger disclosed their financial interests in the FETP through the filing of public documents. District officials said Geiger recused himself from procurement activities involving FETP once he became a paid consultant in October 2004, according to the USAC.
However, USAC ended up not recovering any money from the school district over this since "we were able to resolve the issues working with the parties involved," a USAC spokesman said Monday in an email.

Internships, consulting projects, and courses that include international travel are among the valuable avenues for building skills, confidence and a network of professional contacts.
Opportunities for hands-on learning stretch across Bentley's portfolio of MBA and MS programs. Some are built into specific programs; others are options for any graduate student.
Field-Based Collaborations
Candidates for the Bentley MBA pursue three two-week collaborations at sites in the United States and other countries. Students work with faculty and organization representatives to address an emerging or persistent issue for the organization — generally one for which an actionable solution does not exist.
Corporate Immersion
Recent college graduates and other young professionals who pursue the Emerging Leaders MBA can ratchet up their experience level in several ways. A corporate immersion experience, consulting engagements, and a trip overseas enable students to learn from global leaders in government and business.
Corporate Partnerships
Bentley has thriving relationships with companies around the world, whose leaders often tap the expertise of graduate students and faculty. Student teams work with a faculty adviser to address relevant issues and offer recommendations that achieve specific goals for the organization.
Global Business Experience
Global Business Experience courses feature a 10-day trip abroad offered during the semester break. Through company visits and meetings with business and government officials, graduate students expand their understanding of doing business in China, Turkey, Germany and other countries.
Internship Program
Students who pursue an internship through Graduate Career Services gain valuable career-related experience at leading companies and other organizations. The assignments can lead to permanent professional positions.
Research Assistantship Program
Candidates for the MS in Human Factors in Information Design who are accepted to the Research Assistantship program work on client projects in the Design and Usability Center. Students collaborate with the center's team of user experience professionals.

It's easy to say that it feels like Arctic weather in the Inland Empire. Today it's supposed to be warmer in Anchorage, Alaska.
"We're going to have some really chilly nights ahead of us," Bonnie Bartling, a National Weather Service specialist, said about Southern California.
Bartling predicted Saturday that overnight low temperatures in the San Bernardino Mountains this morning would be between 1 and 9 degrees above 6,000 feet, and 10 to 20 degrees for those below 6,000 feet.
In the early morning hours, the Big Bear Lake area, which ranges from 6,750 feet to 9,000 feet, was expected to have a low temperature of minus 3 degrees, with wind chill values as low as minus 15. Tonight's low temperature was forecast to be slightly warmer - zero degrees.
And the need to bundle up will continue this week as the region sees some of the coldest January weather since 2007, dropping to sub-freezing temperatures in many areas and sub-zero temperatures in some, according to the National Weather Service.
The coldest weather was expected to arrive in the early morning hours today, prompting officials to issue a freeze warning for much of the Southland, Bartling said.
The NWS issues a freeze warning when temperatures are expected to fall below 28 degrees for at least two consecutive hours.
"We're having a really cold winter this year. A lot of locals are talking about it," said Don Sidener, a U.S. Forest Service forestry technician stationed at the Big Bear Discovery Center.
Having been at Big Bear Lake for 22 years, Sidener said the coldest temperature he recalled was 14 degrees below zero.
"The lake is frozen over in many sections," he said, "but there are still sections of open water."
The lake has been closed to larger boats since October, Sidener said. Small craft such as canoes are still allowed on the icy lake, though not recommended.
Those heading up to Big Bear Lake were required to have chains for their vehicles, though they were not required Saturday, Sidener said. But a requirement for installed chains remained a looming possibility at any time.
At the Mountain High ski resort in Wrightwood, the cold weather did not keep skiers and snowboarders away from the slopes, which received 3 to 5 inches of "fresh powder" on Thursday, resulting in excellent ski conditions, said Kathy Cornell of Mountain High guest services.
Skiers and snowboarders filled parking lots bright and early Saturday, despite temperatures barely out of single digits, she said.
Some portions of the Los Angeles County mountains and Antelope Valley were predicted to experience single-digit temperatures early today, according to an NWS statement.
A low-temperature of 18 degrees was predicted this morning at Mount Wilson in the Angeles National Forest, Bartling added.
Low temperatures at Big Bear Lake are expected to be in the 20s Tuesday through Friday, with high temperatures rising to 53 degrees by the week's end.
But the cold weather is not expected to be accompanied by precipitation. No rain predicted over the next 10 days.
In addition to the cold weather, the Southland is also expected to have strong Santa Ana winds beginning tonight, Bartling said.
The NWS issued a wind watch for much of the area for tonight through Monday, as gusts in excess of 60 mph were predicted to blow through mountains and some valleys.

Brevard, N.C. - Zach Merriken drilled a double and scored a run, but Catawba swept the South Atlantic Conference doubleheader between the Tornados and the Indians at Gil Coan Field behind the pitching performances of J.J. Jankowski and Nick Lomascolo as the visitors topped the hosts 7-0 and 7-1.
Brevard falls to 14-14, 7-7 in South Atlantic Conference play, while Catawba improves to 21-5, 13-1 in conference action.
Game One: Catawba 7, Brevard 1
Box Score
Tarron Robinson and Merriken had multiple hits for Brevard and Kramer Clark drove in a run, but Catawba took advantage of four Brevard errors, scoring four unearned runs in support of Jankowski (6-0) as the right-hander retired 13 BC players on strikes in the victory.
Catawba struck first in the top of the first inning as Garrett Furr singled through the left side of the infield and came around to score on Chris Dula's two-out double off the right centerfield fence, giving the Indians the early lead. The Indians added two more runs in the second as Keaton Hawks and Greg Lawson came around to score on a failed pickoff attempt, giving Catawba the 3-0 lead after two innings.
The Indians added a fourth run in the top of the fourth as Lawson scored on a BC throwing error, but Brevard answered with their first run of the game in the bottom half of the frame. Merriken and Chad Funkhouser reached on back-to-back one-out singles and Cody Queen reached on a fielding error to load the bases, before Clark brought Merriken home with a fielder's choice as Queen broke up the double play attempt to put the score at 4-1.
The Indians added three more unearned runs over the fifth and sixth innings as Ethan Satterfield scored on a BC throwing error in the fifth frame, while Julio Zubillaga and Furr drove in runs in the sixth to close out the scoring as Catawba topped Brevard, 7-1 in the series opener.
Game Two: Catawba 7, Brevard 0
Box Score
The Indians again took advantage of Brevard fielding miscues in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader and Nick Lomascolo (5-2) outdueled Casey Smith (1-2) on the mound to give the Indians the series victory over the Tornados.
Furr doubled in a run for the Indians in the top of the first inning and Cameron Beard brought in Satterfield with an RBI single in the third to give Catawba the early advantage, before the Indians broke the game open in the top of the fourth.
Lawson opened the inning with a solo home run and Beard did the majority of the damage for the Indians with a two RBI single, scoring Dula and Furr as Catawba built a 7-0 lead midway through the game.
Lomascolo faced one batter over the minimum the rest of the way as Champ Stuart drew a walk to lead off the fifth inning, to complete the shutout.
Brevard and Catawba close out the South Atlantic Conference series tomorrow afternoon at Gil Coan Field. First pitch between the Tornados and the Indians is set for 1 p.m.

Ethical, Social and Legal Issues of IT Supported Emergency Response
ISCRAM 201310th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management
Date: 12-15 May 2013
Venue: Baden-Baden, Germany
Call for Participation
Emergency Management Information Systems (EMIS) support novel forms of collaboration between diverse parties - from statutory emergency agencies through local authorities, humanitarian organizations and volunteers, to members of the public. This track explores critical ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI) and innovative responses in policy, practice and IT design. New technologies open up new ethical, legal and social opportunities, such as more agile and better coordinated response efforts through more distributed and networked collaboration, and new capabilities to generate, share and analyze vast amounts of multi-media, location and sensor information. At the same time, deeply challenging ethical, legal and social concerns arise. For example, while the processing of (potentially sensitive) personal data may support search and rescue and interoperability along the care chain, such processing may also violate people's privacy or lead to 'false positives'. Fears over complex legal regulations may actually prevent actors from sharing data when they could effectively and legitimately do so. Information mined from social media may be false or undermine information superiority, introducing new frictions between governmental, professional, volunteer and citizen responders. At a societal level, new capabilities of information processing raise concerns over a creeping 'securitization' of everyday life and surveillance.
Track topics
This track welcomes practitioner reports, academic papers, and design examples that address ethical, legal and social issues of IT supported emergency management in all phases of the emergency response. Track topics include, but are not limited to:
Track Chairs

Type of submissions
ISCRAM2013 is soliciting three types of submission:
1. Full research papers, which will be double blind peer reviewed. It is intended that these will report completed work which can be assessed to the highest academic standards. Such papers should be no more than 10 pages with figures & tables (~5000 words)
2. Work in progress and discussion paper which will be subjected to a light peer review to ensure clarity. Such papers should be no more than 5 pages with figures & tables (~2500 words)
3. Practitioner reports and discussions which raise issues, examples and case studies of importance in responding to and managing crises. These submissions will be subject to a light peer review to ensure clarity. Such papers should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract (maximum two pages, ~ 1200 words). All practitioner reports should be submitted via the dedicated "Practitioner report track".
Note that the designation of the paper and its reviewing will be indicated in the conference proceedings. Also we are not trying to create some concept of first and second quality papers. Rather we are aware that some report finished work which can be assessed in the sense of full peer review and contribution to research, while others offer ideas and thoughts which will stimulate discussion at ISCRAM conferences. The latter are vital if we are to make the conference valuable for shaping our subject.
Note that the ISCRAM MS Word template for submissions is available at http://www.iscram.org/iscram2013
Submission Process and Deadlines
Authors must submit papers and posters electronically at https://www.conftool.com/iscram2013/. All papers must use the ISCRAM paper template. Deadlines for each submission format are listed below.
