ICMPC10: Submission Page

• Enter the title, authors/speakers, topic areas, keywords and body of the abstract of your submission.
• When finished, click "submit" (or "save") at the bottom.
   
• Jan. 31, 2008 is the (new) deadline for all submissions (click here for details).
• Please observe the limit of 400 words for all abstracts.
  Exceeding the limit by a small number of words does not matter, but excessively long (or short) abstracts will be warned, and might be regarded to your disadvantage in the review process.

• The symposium organizer is responsible for supervising the symposium submission as a whole -- making necessary contact with the participants, and monitoring that all position papers are submitted in due time.
• The organizer is also required to provide a general description of the symposium, stating its purpose and significance for the conference audience.
• It is preferable (though not mandatory) that the symposium has an international membership, with speakers/discussants from different countries.

• Enter the Speaker (Discussant) Name(s) and email address (see below note) in the following boxes; in the order to appear in the speaker/discussant list.
  By default, your name is set as the first speaker (the organizer need not be a speaker).
• The last and first names are required. Write "none" if there is no first name.
• The email address of speakers are also required, and must be the primary email address of the speakers' account registration.
• To change the number of lines, write the number in the Number of Speakers (Discussants) box and click the change button.

Notes

• If an email address is given ...
  • and the notify box is checked, then all the notification mail about this submission will also be sent to the specified speakers/discussants.
  • and its owner is registered in this system (using it as the primary email address), then the speaker/discussant can view (but cannot modify) this submission.
  The submitter will always receive notification mails, regardless of the above setting.
• Please keep the number of speakers small (preferrably, within 5).

• Check 1 to 3 of the topic areas listed below that are most relevent to your submission.
  (at least one, and up to three)

  (this is not included in the checked item count)
• This information will be used in the reviewing and conference program planning processes.

• Enter keywords that best describe your submission (at least 1; up to 5).

• Enter text in the text window below the section headings.
• Insert blank lines between paragraphs -- i.e. blank lines are paragraph delimiters.

• Alternatively, check the No-format box to show the text as-is, as you have written in the text window.
• Use only ASCII (iso-8859-1) characters.
• To change the size of text windows, enter the desired value(s) in the Width and Height boxes, and click the change button.
