SUBMISSION POLICY: Papers must pertain to technologies, ideas, experiences and lessons learned that relate to the improvement and/or sustainment of the Army training mission. This is not an appropriate forum for endorsing commercial products. Contractors who submit abstracts should ensure that specific brands and proprietary processes are not addressed. Papers referring to actual projects performed at the installation level using such products are allowed. It must be understood by all that the mention of commercial products does not mean the government endorses such products.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES: All abstracts must be submitted through the National Conference Services, Incorporated (NCSI) website. Abstracts require an Army installation, ACOM, or ATSC sponsor, and should not exceed 250 words. The abstract submission deadline is 31 March 2010. Authors will be notified by 14 April 2010 of abstract acceptance for presentation. Upon notification of acceptance of papers, authors will be asked to prepare manuscripts and submit all briefing materials NLT 1 June 2010. All selected manuscripts and briefing materials will be posted on the SRPWeb after the Workshop.
