On Wednesday May 2, 2012, during the General Session, CUG will recognize the conference's Best Paper. We will announce nominations from each Special Interest Group and then award the conference's Best paper.

Help Us Make CUG 2012 the Best Yet!

Please note: You are required to submit both a paper and slides for your presentation so that they can be published in the CUG Proceedings. Papers presented at CUG Conferences and Workshops must be original works written for that presentation and may not be works prepared for other conferences or publications.

To further assist you with preparation of your paper and slides, please read and follow the Instructions for Authors. You may also review presentations from previous CUG conferences and seek advice from the Special Interest Group Chairs.

CUG Conference Abstract Submission System

You may request an opportunity to present your work at CUG through submission of an Abstract. There is a requirement for a long abstract of up to 400 words. This abstract will form the basis for acceptance to the CUG Conference. There is also a shorter abstract of up to 150 words. This shorter abstract will be included in any printed material. The full (long) abstract, the accompanying paper, and any accompanying presentation material will be included in the Proceedings distribution and in online content. You are encouraged to complete both abstracts as part of your initial submission. Completion of the long abstract as part of the submission process is required.

The Submission System is available from the Opening Date for Submissions through the last day of each CUG Conference. During that time, the capabilities available to Authors will change to reflect existing deadlines. There will be specific windows of time for Abstract Submissions, Paper and Presentation Upload, and Paper and Presentation Updates. The link to the CUG Conference Submission System is here. Authors must establish an account within the submission system that may then be used to manage their submission materials.
