Dear colleague, We are pleased to open submissions for proposals for AoIR 2016: Internet Rules! (Berlin, Germany, 5 - 8 October, 2016). To re-familiarize yourself with the call for proposals and types of submissions solicited, please see here: http://aoir.org/aoir2016/call-for-proposals/. Accepted paper and panel submissions will be included in our open access conference paper archive, Selected Papers of Internet Research (SPIR). SPIR helps us further publicize the work of our members and introduce our research to a wider audience. All submissions should follow our SPIR formatting requirements, which includes a consistent header and style format for the papers that will enable people to easily locate author and title information, identify the papers as part of the AoIR conference. This format is only intended to bring consistency to basic elements (such as typeface and spacing), not to impose any disciplinary constraints. You can download a Word template here: http://aoir.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/AoIR2016-submission-template.docx . Please note that if you submitted a proposal to the conference through ConfTool last year, you will need to re-register. If you have recently received an email invitation to register as a reviewer, your account will also allow to you to submit contributions. When submitting, please take the time to read the submission categories and topics carefully. You may enter a total of four submissions for the conference (understood broadly as presenting a paper to speaking as part of a fishbowl or panel). If you have any questions about the submission process, please email aoir2016@aoir.org. We look forward to seeing your proposals.
