Deadline for Paper Submissions: October 21, 2005 Program Chair: David C. Chou, Eastern Michigan University
Competitive Papers. Papers or detailed abstracts are invited in, but not limited to, the track areas listed. All papers will be blind refereed electronically, and accepted papers will be published in the conference Proceedings. Abstracts should be of sufficient detail to indicate clearly the objectives of the research. Preference is given to completed papers. It is understood that submissions have not been previously published in a Proceedings or journal, nor are submissions currently under review for publication or presentation elsewhere. Submission of a paper implies that an author will register for the conference, attend the conference, and personally present the paper, if accepted. Concurrent submission/presentation of the same or similar paper at another conference is considered a breach of professional ethics.
Program Participation. Paper reviewers, discussants, and session chairpersons will be needed for a successful program. Please contact the Program Chair or one of the Track Chairs to indicate your interest by July 15, 2005. Symposia, tutorials, and workshops on current topics are invited. Please contact the Program Chair concerning these proposals.
Distinguished Paper Awards. Distinguished paper awards are once again being sponsored by Irwin Publishing, Inc., to recognize the outstanding papers submitted at the FBD conference.
Student Papers. Cash awards will be presented to the top three student papers. Papers submitted in the student track must be solely of student authorship.
Instructional Innovation Award. Alpha Iota Delta is sponsoring an award that is intended to recognize outstanding contributions that advance instructional approaches within the decision sciences. The focus of this award is innovation in college- or university-level teaching. A plaque will be awarded to the author(s) of the paper judged best within the Innovative Education track.
