We call for abstract (300-500 words) on any aspects of the Theme as indicated above. Note these should not be reports on specific research projects. Acceptance of abstracts will be determined by the chairs in consultation with an editorial panel and based on quality and relevance to the Theme and the aims of SIGGreen. 2. **October 22****nd** **2010** Notified of acceptance. Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be asked to create a presentation (a short paper, slides with commentary, and/or video) to be uploaded into a page of this wiki by November 10th 2010 for the 1 day virtual event.
