The ASEAN Conference on Accounting Education 2015 (ACAE 2015) envisions to be the platform for academic discussions, sharing and exchanging of views on current issues and methods of solving issues in accounting education around the world focusing on global and glocal challenges faced by accounting education in this century.
It is open to local and international academia, researchers, policy makers, accounting professional bodies and ‘stakeholders’ who have an interest in the field of accounting education. From the presentations and exchange of views with international professional groups on current issues, we can gain knowledge which, subsequently, could be useful for teaching and learning. The Conference will also help build a closer network between industry and universities, bridging the gap between theory and practice.

 
CONFERENCE AWARD
The conference will announce three (3) ‘Best Paper Award’ to recognize high quality research presented at this conference. The awarding decisions are made by an Awards Committee formed among members of the Scientific Committee or the wider research community. Each award will include a plaque each for the authors and an honorarium of RM1,000.
PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITY
Accepted full papers will be published in the refereed conference proceeding and a selection of extended presented papers from ACAE 2015 will be invited to be published in Malaysian Accounting Review (MAR). MAR is an international refereed journal that is currently indexed with three international databases namely Ebscohost, Cabell’s and Ulrich. The journal is also ranked by two Australian databases: ERA and Bardsnet. Currently the journal is under review for possible indexing by SCOPUS.

In conjunction with this ACAE 2015 conference we will be publishing MAR’s special issue on “Accounting Education: Changing the Landscape of Accounting Profession”. We invite interested authors to submit their papers (conceptual or empirical).

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS & PAPERS

 
Chulalongkorn University will work closely with UNESCO Bangkok, the AUN and other partners to identify and recruit recognized academic experts. This open call also invites abstracts (maximum 500 words) and full papers of approximately 5000-7000 words that (subject to peer review and revision) will be result in book chapters and/or appear in published proceedings. The extended DEADLINE for ABSTRACTS is 15 June 2015. Paper submission guidelines will be provided for proceedings and peer review upon accepted abstracts. Abstract submissions should be made on the UNESCO Bangkok (RUSHSAP) web site following format and instructions there ( www.unescobkk.org/en/rushsap )
TRAVEL GRANTS will be provided for scholars from Southeast Asia or the ASEAN region with accepted abstracts to present FULL PAPERS ONLY unless other arrangments are made. Others outside the region may submit abstracts or present papers but if accepted must self-finance their own travel. Academic papers may variously explore:

1. National reviews on the state of both social and sustainability sciences (curricula, funding, programs, institutions, research capacities, theoretical debates, faculty types, student numbers, published research, etc.), either together or separately in each Southeast Asian country.
2. Thematic reviews (at national or regional level) of specific social or and sustainability science subjects, disciplines or cross/transdisciplinary fields.
3. Theoretical, policy and empirical issues about social sciences as they relate to broader ecological, social and economic sustainability challenges for Southeast Asia as a whole, and the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) in ASEAN particularly, including but not limited to ASEAN priorities, policies, committees, institutional challenges, programs, curricula, etc.
4. Social and sustainability science contributions to understanding the ASEAN integration process, particularly perspectives on one of more of the AC’s three “pillars”: i.e. the ASEAN security community (ASC); the ASEAN economic community (AEC); and the ASEAN socio-cultural community (ASCC). while assessing their model(s) and operational programs for regional, national, institutional, local and rural development and environmental sustainability or protection;
5. Social and sustainability science analyses of “ASEAN Plus” partnerships, other external relations and donor agendas with their influences on the ASEAN Community (and the GMS in ASEAN), Southeast Asian Universities and regional scholarship.
6. Social and sustainability science analyses of civil society critiques or alternatives to the AEC, ASC and ASCC visions, or key actors and partners.
7. Policy-relevant analyses of how social or sustainability science research is (or could be) used by government and others. For example, do social scientists already have established connections to ensure there are clear impact pathways so that good social science research can better inform policy? How do governments in Southeast Asian currently seek information from social science institutions or scholars, and of what types, for what purposes? How can scholarship build or strengthen relationships?
8. Practical considerations about institutional reform and regional cooperation including methods, tools, resources and networking for strengthening social and sustainability sciences and complementary disciplines, particularly sustainable development teaching, learning and research capacities among Southeast Asian universities, colleges, and research institutes and their partners.

Timeline

This symposium will engage social and sustainability scientists, allied disciplinary experts, and related institutions across the ASEAN region. A timely publication following the event should help facilitate critical analysis and policy dialogue for the pending AC in 2015, and be a practical contribution to an emerging SEAHEA. The projected timeline is as follows.

The 2015 11th International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC’15) and the 2015 12th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD’15) will be jointly held from 15-17 August 2015 in Zhangjiajie, China. Zhangjiajie is a city in the northwestern part of Hunan province. Nearby is the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an AAAAA (the highest class) scenic area in China. Towering sandstones mesas, dense forests, and deep ravines form the gorgeous and mysterious natural landscape. With many spectacularly-shaped stone pillars, hidden valleys, seas of cloud, majestic waterfalls, wandering streams, clear lakes, and limestone caves, Wulingyuan is a must-see in China. Avatar, James Cameron’s block-buster movie, did much of its filming in these beautiful mountains.
As with the past ICNC-FSKD conferences, all papers in conference proceedings will be submitted to both EI Compendex and ISTP (ISI Proceedings), as well as IEEE Xplore (all previous ICNC-FSKD conferences from 2005 to 2013 have been indexed in Ei Compendex). Extended versions of selected best papers will appear in 3 SCI-index ICNC-FSKD special issues of Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence and International Journal of Parallel Programming (60+ papers). ICNC-FSKD 2015 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society.
ICNC-FSKD is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of data mining and intelligent methods inspired from nature, particularly biological, linguistic, and physical systems, with applications to computers, circuits, systems, control, communications, and more. This is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of theory and methodologies are being investigated and developed to tackle complex and challenging problems. The registration fee includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all technical sessions.
Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts written in English. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field based on originality, significance, quality and clarity. Authors should use the Latex style files or MS-Word templates obtained from the conference site to format their papers. Authors should submit PDF files of their manuscripts via the online submission system. Submissions imply that the papers have not been submitted elsewhere and will not be submitted elsewhere for publications before the review decisions of this conference.
