Commencement of Regular Registration: 1 June 2009
For authors of accepted regular and special papers, advance
registration is required in order to upload the final material of accepted papers (regular or special papers).
All accepted manuscripts must be uploaded in final form by the submission deadline, May 15, 2009.
For each accepted paper, at least one author should be registered in advance for the paper to be included in the final program.
Inclusion of a paper in the final program requires that at least one author to
register with a full registration fee. However, a student will be allowed, at the student registration rate, to upload one paper.
If the same student wants to upload a second paper they pay another student registration, which makes it equivalent to full registration.
For cases with one full registration, up to two papers by the same author may be uploaded. Additional uploads of
papers written by the same author (either regular or student) will require one half registration for each additional
paper upload (for example, if the same author is involved in 2 papers, one full registration suffices;
for uploading 3, or 4, papers by the same registering author, respectively 1.5, or 2, registrations are required, etc.).
Note, the same author may not upload more than four papers.
Early bird registration is encouraged to avoid last minute rush and also
to make best use of very attractive early bird offers. Registration during the conference is allowed but discouraged.
