Hi Rob,

Thanks for the correction - the joys of boilerplate

We are encouraging more complete work rather than
speculations about projects that might get off the ground (the back
of the airplane napkin presentation). Ideally, we want to attract  
projects-
in-process that will have results/conclusions in time for the  
conference.
That said (written), these dates inevitably move.

hope that helps, I hope you'll be able to send in some work. Please
also see that we are including poster presentations again this year.
They were a great success last year and provided presenters with
a little different way to share their work.

>> The full-day event includes concurrent sessions, poster

>>
>> Conference theme: Technology as Text
>> This year's conference will explore our field's unique relationships
>> with technology. We will explore and examine new research, teaching
>> methods, workplace practices, and administrative activities that
>> inform and teach us about new, current, and past  technologies. The
>> goal of these presentations will be to help us better understand and
>> practice technical communication and communication in scientific,
>> professional, and workplace contexts.
>>
>> Inform, Teach, Critique
>> We challenge participants to create presentations that will inform
>> the field about new communication technologies and at the same time
>> interrogate these technologies for their social, ethical, technical,
>> practical, environmental, or material implications. Rather than look
>> to tutorials or demonstrations, we are seeking robust studies,
>> explorations, and research partnerships that engage subjects on
>> several levels and demonstrate new ways to study and report on the
>> technologies that we invent, use, and are subject to in workplace,
>> academic, and daily practices.
>>
>> Potential Topics
>> Some particular areas of interest include (but aren’t limited to)
>> research that examines,
>>
>>      * the implications, challenges, and rewards a specific
>> technology brings to communication practices,
>>      * connections between technological and theoretical knowledge
>> building,
>>      * relationships of our own technology learning to the practice
>> of scholarship: what does mastering a new technology or creating new
>> technology, constitute in terms of our scholarly, intellectual
>> enterprise?
>>      * presentations that teach and interrogate a specific  
>> technology,
>>      * the social values associated with specific communication
>> technologies including the economic value, ethical implications, and
>> value added of communication technologies,
>>      * pedagogies that enable students to engage, address, and use
>> communication technologies
>>      * research methods that the field can use to examine and
>> understand new, current, and past communication technologies.
>>      * investigations into the social contexts in which technologies
>> are implemented and used.
>>
>>
>> Proposals, limited to 200 words, are due October 28, 2004.  We offer
>> two general formats:
>>
>> Regular Sessions: 15 minute talks within 45-minute panel
>> presentations. We will give presenters the opportunity to post copies
>> of their presentation or paper at the ATTW Conference site
>> approximately two weeks before the conference.
>>
>> Poster Presentations:  We will include opportunities for posters
>> (3'x4') to be presented throughout the day with special times
>> dedicated for conversations and specific discussions regarding this
>> work.
>>
>> Submit proposals for regular sessions via the ATTW website at http://
>> www.attw.org.  Connect to the site, register (or enter your
>> password), then follow the links for conference paper submissions.
>> All proposals will be peer reviewed. Proposals will be accepted after
>> September 12, 2005.
>>
>> Workshop Sessions: We will make room for two 1 1/2-hour workshops as
>> an alternative to panels of speakers. Workshops might focus on
>> pedagogical issues, strategies for working with external partners,
