[AISWorld] MWAIS 2013 Conference: Corrected extension deadline

[Glen Sagers]

I inadvertently put in the wrong extension date at the top of the last
message, the deadline for full paper submission is March 18, 2013, at
11:59 PM CST.  The deadline for panel, workshop, and tutorial proposals
is March 11, 2013 at 11:59 PM.  Sorry for any confusion this may have
caused.

The full CFP, with correct dates, appears below.

Call for Papers:
The 8th annual MWAIS conference will accept papers on state-of-the-art

conference will provide an intimate environment to facilitate sharing
of ideas and findings.

MWAIS 2013 will have several presentation sessions, workshops, invited
keynote speakers, panel sessions, doctoral & undergraduate student
sessions. There will be speakers from Academia and Industry,
representing Fortune 500 companies throughout the region.  The
academic keynote speaker is Iowa State’s Dr. Joey George and a tour of
a local IT facility, including an emerging technologies lab, is planned.
Manuscripts, research in progress, panel, and workshop proposals are
invited from all regions, from both academia and practice.
Submitted papers and proposals will undergo a double blind review.

The MWAIS program committee will nominate three papers for best paper
