Welcome to the Call for Papers and Participation Web Application
Before you begin, please read How to Submit a Paper... and other relevant questions to find out when you will be notified if your paper is accepted as well as other important information. Then, please read this page carefully.
The author's personal information and the abstract information are separated into two entries: 1) a profile, for the author's personal information, and 2) a paper submission, for the abstract. This allows you to add your papers without having to re-enter your personal information.
| NOTE: Author profiles from the previous Call for Papers have
been copied into this year's Call for Papers and Participation. If you submitted an abstract
for any of the past several conferences, you probably already have a Profile, Login ID and Password for
the system. An automated Password Lookup has been added this year; Enter your e-mail address and the information will be emailed to you. You will have the opportunity to edit your Author Profile, Login ID and Password once you log onto the system. If you have any questions, contact SAS Global Forum or call 919.531.5000. |
Please write and check the spelling of your abstract, working draft and bios in a word processor before you enter information about your paper into this application. You can then copy and paste them into the appropriate spaces. Note that formatted text will lose its formatting (bold, italics, and so on) when pasted into this application. However, line and paragraph breaks will be preserved.
This application allows you to enter all data in lowercase letters, so please be sure to begin every word that needs to be capitalized with a capital letter.
It is not necessary to enter trademark references for SAS solutions in your submission. The submissions will be edited and trademarks will be properly acknowledged when the abstracts are published.

*Information on each author/volunteer is entered only once, therefore, you may get a message that an author profile already exists, and the system will not let you enter the author again. Scroll through the "available speakers" list until you locate the desired author. You may specify the order of authors on papers with multiple authors – simply select the names, and use the up or down arrows to add names in the desired order.
The application functions best using Internet Explorer. If you are using a different browser and experience difficulties, please contact SAS Global Forum to make other arrangements for submitting your abstract.
If you have a question, please contact SAS Global Forum.
