The American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIST) is excited
to be using on-line submissions for the 2001 Annual Meeting in Washington, DC,
Nov. 4-8!
The Community of Science, Inc. (COS) "Abstract" Management System (AMS) is a
Web-based system designed to manage the creation, submission, peer review, and
scheduling/print output of accepted proposals. [It is called an "abstract"management
tool but it has been customized to accept full, draft contributed papers as
is specified in the Call for Papers <http://www.asis.org/Conferences/am01.html>
for this meeting.
There is a link to the submission site on the ASIST home page and form the ASIST
Conferences Page, but the actual URL is http://ams.cos.com/cgi-bin/login?institutionId=2039&meetingId=54
]
This system is designed to simplify the cumbersome and complex set of tasks associated
with your submitting and updating a proposal, as well for reviewers and conference
planners managing proposals via paper or disk. You can simply log on to the
COS/ASIST Web site, register, and interact with the system from the comfort and
privacy of your own office.
The system will allow you to modify and revise your proposal as necessary unless
it is closed for reviewing, printing, etc. It will also guide you through the
steps. You can leave your Proposals in a "draft" state if you need to get "required"
information (e.g., e-mail addresses for additional presenters in a panel session)
and come back. Your proposal can be revised and modified almost at will unless
it is "closed" for reviewing, printing, or other such processes.
The AMS user-interface is intuitive and user-friendly providing step by step
instructions to guide you through submission and revision steps. The COS Help
Desk is available, Monday through Friday 8-5 free of charge with a response time
of 24 hours, maximum. Follow the links from the "Troubleshooting/FAQ" page.
