Transmathematica 2019 – The 2nd International Conference on Total Systems
Monday 1st July 2019, The Roseate Reading, 26 The Forbury, Reading, United Kingdom, RG1 3EJ
Call for Papers
The Transmathematica conference accepts papers on any subject within the scope of the Transmathematica Journal. That is, it accepts papers from any discipline in the arts, humanities and sciences that deal with total systems. Total systems have no exceptions, so they always work. This is of interest to Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Philosophy and many other disciplines. Papers on transreal arithmetic or any of the trans-sciences are especially welcome.
Papers, in any format, should ideally be submitted using the Transmathematica Journal’s submission process but authors may submit conference papers, by email, to the Editor in Chief.
It is likely that the conference papers will be among the first papers published by the Transmathematica journal. In Transmathematica 2017, only abstracts were published.
Papers should be submitted as soon as possible. Submitting by the following deadlines will qualify for the conference publication fee, which is lower than the regular journal publication fee. All accepted papers will be published in the Transmathematica journal.
The conference committee will endeavour to give publication decisions within two weeks of submission. Authors are encouraged to submit early, to gain publication approval, and then to spend time improving their papers, up to the camera-ready deadline.
Audio-Visual Presentations
Conference presentaions may be made virtually by Skype or physically by using Apple TV or a conference computer that uses Apple TV. Acceptable formats for presentations are Apple KeyNote, Adobe PDF, Microsoft PowerPoint.
Delegates are advised to bring their presentations on a USB memory stick and to have a backup copy publicly available on the World Wide Web. Delegates are invited to send their final presentation by email, to the Editor in Chief so that the presentation can be pre-loaded onto a conference computer.
WiFi
The hotel's free WiFi is called The Roseate Reading. It has no password but does ask for your email address.

*FIRE ALARMS
The hotel will test its fire alarm at 11.00. The test lasts ten seconds. Delegates may stay in the conference. However, should the alarm sound for more than ten seconds or sound at any other time then it is not a test! Delagates should evacuate the hotel and meet in Forbury Square, by the entrance to the hotel. Stand well back so that fire engines can drive up to the hotel at speed.
If you are on the entrance level when a real fire alarm sounds, leave by the hotel's main entrance and gather in Forbury Square. If you are one level lower, leave via the Cerise restaurant's fire escape and walk round to the front of the building and gather in Forbury Square.
Do not stop to collect personal belongings - simply leave the building.
