Dear Esteemed Colleagues,
We trust this e-mail finds you well! We would like to cordially invite
you to consider contributing your expertise to our forthcoming book,
entitled Technology for Facilitating Humanity and Combating Social
Deviations: Interdisciplinary Perspectives.
The objective of this book is to provide the rationale,
state-of-the-art studies, proof-of-concepts, experimental studies, and
future perspectives on the use of computing tools to prevent and deal
with the problems of humanity deviations.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, those found at the
following link:

We plan to procure works which include a suitable balance of science
and technology with ethical, moral, and legal issues on using
computing for preventing and attacking humanity deviations.
Should you accept this invitation, we would like to kindly ask that,
on or before September 25 2009, you submit via e-mail a full chapter
(8,000 to 10,000 words) for review that clearly explains the mission
and concern of your proposed chapter. Should your chapter be accepted,
you will be notified by September 30 2009. After September 30,
chapters will be sent for double-blind peer review. Full chapter
guidelines can be found at the following website:
http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/ (please refer to
the Edited Books section). The book is scheduled to be published in
late 2010 by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.),
www.igi-global.com, publisher of the Information Science Reference
(formerly Idea Group Reference), Medical Information Science
Reference, and IGI Publishing imprints. Additional information
