Abstract Format

• Each abstract should be no more than three pages with 1-inch margins, 11-point font, and at most 33 lines per page. The abstract should include the title, a description of the research problem, the assumptions used, the key methodology, and a summary of major results and their significance. References, if any, should be included within the three pages.

• To facilitate double-blind review, the abstract should not contain author names.

• The abstract should be submitted as a PDF file.

Guidelines

• The same work can be presented only once during the entire three-day conference period. 

• The submitting author should be the presenter and will be considered "primary author" in the system. Once your abstract is accepted, you will upload an abstract with author names in the order they should appear.

• Abstracts will be selected for oral presentation by double-blinded review.

• Each attendee is limited to one non-SIG submission to the MSOM conference, one submission to each SIG Meeting, and two presentations during the entire three-day conference period.
