Abstract Deadline:  17 May 2024

Abstract Submission Site

JHU WSE ERG accepts only electronic submission of abstracts, presentations, and papers. Abstracts must be submitted only via the Abstract Submittal Site.

• A JANNAF Portal Account is not required to submit an abstract.
• Many organizations require abstracts to be processed through an approval system prior to submission. This process takes additional time, so authors should plan accordingly to meet the abstract deadline date.
• Review the Call for Papers (pdf) to determine the most appropriate technical area (subcommittee and mission area) for your abstract's topic.
• By submitting an abstract, you agree to submit a final paper by 8 November 2024, attend the meeting, and deliver a 30-minute presentation (including 5 minutes for Q&A).
• Presentation Anticipated Distribution Statement is a required field when submitting an abstract. This helps the program planning committee to properly place your presentation if accepted.
  • Dissemination of information from JANNAF presentations is primariliy relegated to either Statement A (approved for public release) or Statement C (Distribution authorized to U.S. Government and their contractors).
  • To properly secure them, presentations marked with Statement B (U.S. Government agencies only), Statement D (U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. DoD Contractors only), or Statement E (U.S. Department of Defense components only), must be placed at the beginning of session agendas.
  • Papers may have different Distribution Statements than their corresponding presentations.
• Submit only unclassified abstracts with content that is either distribution statement A (approved for public release) or C (distribution authorized to U.S. Government and their contractors), regardless of the eventual classification and distribution statement of the paper and presentation. Abstracts will NOT be published and will only be used by the program committee members for selection and scheduling purposes.
• A maximum of 5 authors may be listed when submitting your abstract for inclusion in the author list for the Preliminary and Final Programs. This limit does not apply to your final paper/presentation. All names will be included in the author list in JDOC.
• Abstract length is limited to 300 words. Exclude tables and figures. State the objective of the work. Describe the scope, method of approach, and any new advances in the state of the art. Highlight important conclusions, and include a brief summary of the data used to substantiate them.
• If you are missing required information, save your form and return once you have obtained the missing information to complete and submit the form.
• If the abstract deadline is approaching and you have not received approval to release your abstract, please contact the ERG meetings team (meetings@erg.jhu.edu) for guidance on submitting a placeholder.
• The deadline date for submission of abstracts is 17 May 2024. Please do not submit late without first contacting ERG (meetings@erg.jhu.edu).
