*Submission process:*To submit a paper abstract, go to
www.wjec.aut.ac.nz <http://www.wjec.aut.ac.nz>and follow the directions.
Note the following:

·Ensure that the document you upload does NOT include ANY information
that identifies you or your affiliation/institution. Abstracts submitted
with author identifiable information will automatically be removed from
the pool of submissions and will neither be considered for review nor
possible inclusion in the conference program;

·Ensure that you add ALL required information in the form you fill out
before uploading your paper abstract. This enables the conference
organizers to keep track of individual authors and their abstracts.
Ensure the email address you include is the one you want the organizers
to communicate with you about your submission and where you will receive
a confirmation once you have successfully submitted your abstract.

*Review process:*A panel of international judges will blind-review all
