Preparations are underway for the 1997 meeting of SMAP, Semantic Modeling of Accounting Phenomena. This year's conference has two goals: first, we hope to continue our research tradition, recognizing recent advances in the area, and identifying opportunities for on-going research. Second, we want to continue our discussion of how semantic modeling is included in the courses we teach.
To meet these objectives, we will have a one day session affiliated with the national meeting of the American Accounting Association. The session will occur on, Saturday, August 16, the day prior to the CPE sessions so participants will be able to attend all of the AAA events. The first half of the day will focus on teaching, while the second will focus on research.
To support the conference objectives, we will compile a resource book (proceedings) with participant's suggestions for both teaching and research. Therefore, to attend this session, you need to pay a $30 registration fee, and you will be required to submit either one problem/case which you use in your class to teach semantic modeling, or one research paper or proposal pertaining to the subject (and submitting one of each would be great!).
If you are submitting a course-related problem, please limit your submissions to problems concerning semantic modeling. While we are all interested in the wide range of materials covered in AIS courses around the world, this workshop has a very narrow focus, and we will try stick to the main objectives. When you format your case, please include your name, university, and course number on the first page of the document. This will help others to assess the level of the case, and it will make it easy for them to contact you in the future. It would also be helpful if you include a tentative solution; these may spur a lot of discussion! You may submit your problems either electronically (e-mail a Word or HTML attachment to julie.smith.david@asu.edu) or by mail. If you would like your materials included on the SMAP home page (http://www.asu.edu/acc330/smap/smap.html), then you must submit an electronic version of your problem.
If you submit a research paper, please try to submit it in a standard
format so we can make copies and include them in our proceedings. This
work could be very preliminary, or even in the proposal phase, but we'd
like to, again, stay focused on semantic modeling research ideas.

(10-15 pages).
We hope to see you there!

ADDRESS FOR SUBMISSIONS AND CHECKS:
By the way, your submission fee to SMAP includes the usual SMAP groundhog T-shirt. A preview of this year's "Dallas cowboy" groundhog (compliments of Julie David) is on the SMAP homepage.
