Dear Gustaf Neumann,

The International Conference on Computer Supported Education steering committee cordially invites you to submit a paper to the CSEDU-2011 conference, to be held in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands. The deadline for paper submission is September 30th, 2010. 

Last year's edition of CSEDU received 304 paper submissions from 64 countries in all continents. After reviewing, only 30 papers were selected to be published and presented as full papers, i.e. completed work (8 pages in proceedings / 30' oral presentations) and 79 papers, describing work-in-progress, were selected as short papers for 20' oral presentation leading to a total oral paper acceptance ratio of less than 36%. These ratios denote a high level of quality, which we intend to maintain or reinforce in the next edition of this conference.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and CD-ROM support. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by several major international indexers, including Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI.
Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference.
All presented papers will be also available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).

Please check further details at the CSEDU 2011 conference web site (http://www.csedu.org). There you will find detailed information about the conference structure and its main topic areas. This conference is co-located with WEBIST 2011 (7th International Conference on Web Information Systems - http://www.webist.org/) and CLOSER 2011 (1st International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science - http://www.closer.scitevents.org/). Registration to CSEDU will enable free attendance to any sessions of all co-located events.

Workshops and special sessions are also invited. If you wish to propose a workshop or a special session, for example based on the results of a specific research project, please send a proposal to the CSEDU secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.


Kind regards,
Joao Teixeira
