I'll second that. After all, just because you're not interested doesn't mean that others on the list aren't. And as they are inviting submissions for inclusion at the conference, not marketing us for our attendance/money, so how could this possibly be SPAM?

I'm always bemused by responses like this on mailing lists. If you don't wish to read a posting, don't do so. There should be no need for raised hackles at all.

I have no issue with cross posting when I see a posting that has been thought about and that is relevant to the group into which it is posted.
This one has gone right past me with a Whooooooshhhh!
Please would the author explain to us what this is and why it is relevant instead of just blasting it out? This feel to me like mindless shotgun SPAM. The apology at the top feels like "no apology intended"
Now, if I am doing the poster a disservice, that is fine. A decent explanation will remove my raised hackles. But so far this feels as relevant as trying to sell me shoes because it is presumed that I have feet.

-- CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline for submissions (Last CFP): 14 March 2005 --
IADIS Cognitive Performance Support 2005 Conference
(http://www.iadis.org/multi2005/cps2005.asp)
part of the IADIS Virtual Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (MCCSIS 2005)
11 - 29 April 2005
(http://www.iadis.org/multi2005)
* Conference Background and Goals
This conference aims at providing the scientific basis for the community of system designers and critical users. The objective of this conference is the scientific cross fertilization between disciplines such as cognitive science, ergonomics, system design and task performance analysis. Both the theories on human-machine interaction, task performance and mental functioning need systematic research in order to improve productivity.
This conference has a unique concept: it is a scientific conference hosted virtually. This means that the quality of a scientific conference (with the peer reviewed submissions, the publication in a book and CD with ISBN, the possibility of best papers being considered for publication as extended versions in journals) comes together with the benefit of being at your office or at home and taking part in it at any time during its three week duration. You choose which sessions to attend from the conference themes offered and you can tailor your best schedule.
* Format of the Conference
The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in selected Journals.
* Types of Submissions
Full and Short Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process.
* Topics related to the Cognitive Performance Support conference are of
interest:
* Conceptual support systems
* Epistemic systems, ontology and hermeneutics * Information system analysis and design * Adaptive systems * Application domains for adaptive systems * User modeling and user-centered system design * Cognitive ergonomics * Task performance support systems * Communication systems design * Spatial awareness and behavior feedback * Ecological and evolutionary factors in distributed/shared cognition and awareness
* Important Dates:
