A written paper, for inclusion in the conference proceedings, must accompany all presentations.

Speakers may select one of the following presentation formats:

Technical presentation: a 30-minute talk, with 10 minutes for questions.

Research papers: a 30-minute talk, with 10 minutes for questions. Research papers must present original contributions to the field and will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers. Each research paper will be judged on its originality, significance, relevance and presentation.

Management presentation: a 25-30 minute talk, with 10-15 minutes for questions (i.e. a total 40 minutes).

Panel sessions will also be timetabled in the conference and speakers should indicate their willingness to participate, and may like to suggest panel topics. Tutorials provide a more thorough presentation, of either a half-day or full-day duration. They may be of either a technical or management orientation.

The AUUG 2005 conference offers an unparalleled opportunity to present your ideas and experiences to an audience with a major influence on the direction of computing in Australia.
