The Conference will consider both full competitive and working papers. Targeted at academics and practitioners, the organizers hope that the Conference will provide a wonderful opportunity for academics and professionals to network, discuss, debate and exchange ideas and viewpoints. Please note that all papers must conform with the format instructions and will be subjected to formal blind review. Authors will be notified of acceptance, rejection or suggested modifications as soon as the review processes both for Conference and journal special issue have been completed. Acceptance of a paper means that the author (or one of the authors) will present the paper at the Conference.
