I have a problem about registration? |
| Regarding any registration problems, please
feel free to contact the conference treasurer, Dr. Ta-Wei Hung, via
the email account: twhung@mail.usc.edu.tw. |
| |
| (FAQ 05) Could the conference give
me some subsidy, financial sponsor or registration fee discount? |
| All conference participants, including conference
chairs, advisors, committee members, and session chairs have to pay
the registration fee. Registration fee is used to cover all conference
operation cost. As you know, it is expensive to hold an international
conference in a five-star luxury hotel, and maintain quality service
to all participants and invited quests. |
| |
| (FAQ 06) If I submit two papers (one
is single authored and another is co-authored) to this conference,
how much I need to pay? |
No matter the paper is a single authored
or co-authored, if you like to have the paper published in the
proceedings, you need to pay registration fee US$300 for each paper
before May 31, 2007 or US$350 after May 31, 2007 .
However, in case that the paper is co-authored
and more than one author would like to participant in the conference,
each participant needs to make registration and pay the registration
fee separately. (US$300 before May 31, 2007 or US$350 after May
31, 2007 )
Notably, every registered participant (no
matter he/she is single paper author, multiple paper author, or
just pure participant) will get one set of conference package,
which covers all conference sessions, four coffee breaks, one year
(two issues) International
Journal of Business and Information (IJBI) and a copy of conference
proceedings in CD-ROM format. |
| |
| (FAQ 07) If I wish to submit three
papers (two are single authored and one is co-authored) to the
conference, how much I need to pay in this case? |
No matter you are a single author, main
author, or co-author, if you would like to have the paper published
in the proceedings, you need to pay registration fee US$300 for
each paper before May 31, 2007 or US$350 after May 31, 2007.
Therefore, if you have three papers, you can
either register three papers or register two papers and invite
another author to register the other one. In the first case, the
first three papers should be registered by one author. In the later
case, there are two papers will be registered by you and the remaining
one will be registered by the other author.
However, please just do the registration and
pay the registration fee for each paper, respectively. |

3. FINAL SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS |
| |
| (FAQ 12) The acceptance letter states
that I have to send the final version of my paper to the conference.
Why do I need to do that? I have already sent the conference my
full paper when I submit my manuscript. |
After receiving the acceptance letter, you
still have an opportunity proofreading your paper and making a
necessary revisal. That is, it is the last chance to modify your
manuscript. After final submission, your manuscript can no longer
be changed. Notably, when you submit your final version of the
paper, you can choose to publish either abstract or full paper
in proceedings. The deadline for Author Registration and Camera-ready
papers is May 30, 2007 .
Anyway, if authors do not submit their final
version of their manuscripts, the initial submission manuscripts
will be used for the conference proceedings. That is, May 31, 2007
is the last date to update or revise the manuscripts. Thereafter,
the conference proceedings will be finalized. |
| |
| (FAQ 13) If I send you a full paper
and it is accepted, can I just have the abstract published in the
proceedings? Or if a full paper is sent to you and it is accepted,
the full paper has to be included in the proceedings? And if I
just want to get an abstract published, can I just submit an abstract?
Please clarify it. |
| We respect the choice made by the author(s).
As we know some authors hope to participant in the conference and
share their latest research results in oral presentation, but do
not want their full papers to be appeared in the proceedings. In
this case, these authors may choose to only publish their abstracts
in the proceedings. To sum up, you can publish abstract or full paper
in proceedings subject to your choice. What you upload in "final
submission" is what you get published in the proceedings. |
| |
| (FAQ 14)Will each accepted paper be
published in full, or will some only be published in abstract form? |
| It is authors' right to decide to publish the
full paper(s) or abstract(s) in the e-CASE 2007 proceedings (CD-ROM).
What you upload in "final submission" is what you get published
in proceedings. |
| |
| (FAQ 15) I'd like to know if an abstract
or the full paper should be submitted. If both are acceptable,
may I know the required length of the abstract? |
| Both abstract and the full paper are acceptable
for submission. Please provide one to three pages' extended abstract
if you choose to submit abstract rather than full paper. |
| |
| (FAQ 16) What is the maximum length
of the manuscript for this conference? |
| There is no limitation for the length of manuscript
for the conference proceedings, since the proceedings are printed
in the CD-ROM. |
| |
| (FAQ 17) I am planning to publish the
abstract in the conference proceedings. Is there any format requirement

manuscript should follow? |
