Subject: #8 Reason for submitting an Abstract (in e-mail not attachment form)

The #8 best reason for submitting an abstract for this year’s conference in Cincinnati is a long one:

Cincinnati is the home of world-renowned Cincinnati Chili, a dish with its own language for ordering your meal. Conference participants will have the opportunity to evaluate whether this arcane system (including “two-way,” “three-way,” “four-way,” “four-way bean,” and “five-way” chili) is both consistent and complete.

Hint: 4-way

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS, SYMPOSIA, AND POSTERS

(Rapid reviewing and feedback on submissions still available.)

Celebrating more than 25 years!

Submit your abstract(s) electronically at http://www.societyforchaostheory.org/conf/2017/cfp
Contemporary conditions across our planet have long been issuing a "clarion call" for nonlinear dynamical understandings and methods to address them. This year's keynote speakers are particularly attuned to this reality and intimate with ways we can engage it. They have designed their talks to make inspiring, compelling, clear, and practical linkages to broaden and deepen our thinking and applications across the interdisciplinary breadth and areas of practice evident in the Society.

Join us at the conference with our three fabulous keynote speakers!

Dr. Bill Warren (Department of Cognitive, Linguistic & Psychological Sciences, Brown University)

Dr. Heidi Kloos (Department of Psychology, University of Cincinnati)

Dr. Warren Burggren (Department of Biological Sciences, University of North Texas)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABSTRACTS

A note from your President-Elect: We are still offering rapid reviewing and feedback on your submissions. We encourage submissions across a wide range of areas.

Length

•       Abstracts are between 150-250 words for posters, individual papers, short workshops and other alternative formats. Clear connections to nonlinear dynamics, chaos, complexity, fractals or related concepts are important. Include each speaker or author’s organizational affiliation and/or contact information.

•       Abstracts for symposia or panel discussions may be longer at up to 500 words. For symposia, it is important to include the content of EACH speaker's contribution. The typical format for a symposium is for all speakers to give presentations with time following for discussion. The typical format for a panel discussion is inquiry-based and dialogic. Please communicate the theme of your research or practice-based applications of nonlinear science within the title of your abstract.

Content

•       For experimental work, you will want the background, aims and framework, mode of inquiry, methods and samples, outcomes, conclusions and implications to be clear and explicit.

•       For panel discussions, you will want to provide a brief overview of and introduction to the topic, relevant background of panelists and sample questions that will be used to prompt your panel member discussion.

•       For symposia or workshops, you will want to describe your current research, the techniques you used for conducting your research and how it applies to nonlinear behavioral, social and/or life science. Please emphasize the skills and new learning that attendees can expect to acquire.

•       For all abstracts: Assist the reader in understanding your connection to nonlinear dynamics, chaos, complexity, fractals and/or related concepts. Please highlight the overall value added to your area of practice (e.g., introduces a new method, information, perspective, issue; calls into question, confirms present knowledge or clarifies understanding).

•       Choose a category: The web-submission form allows you to select from the following: 1) Empirical (e.g., presentation of empirical results of a study), 2) Theoretical (e.g., empirically testable theoretical development), 3) Applied (e.g., social, cultural, organizational and/or inter- relational dynamics; business, product and/or marketing development; practice-based applications involving clinical interventions), 4) Quantitative (e.g., computational or statistical modeling), 5) Qualitative (e.g., non-quantitative analysis of empirical data), 6) Philosophical or artistic (e.g., epistemology, philosophy of science, aesthetics, or audio-visual demonstrations).

Additional Information

•       Each person may submit up to two presentations as first author and serve as co- author on additional work submitted by others.

•       All presenters are invited to prepare your papers for possible publication in the Society’s peer reviewed research journal Nonlinear Dynamics, Psychology, and Life Sciences. NDPLS uses American PsychologicalAssociation (APA) style. Click JOURNAL on the SCTPLS web site to access Instructions for Authors. NDPLS accepts manuscripts all through the year, but please use October 1, 2017 as the target date for submitting to allow us to make up a special Conference Presentations issue.

REGISTRATION for the conference and workshops is open athttp://www.societyforchaostheory.org/conf/2017/
