Publication Policy
Conference papers will be indexed for IEEE Xplore and EI Compendex only if all three of the following requirements are satisfied: submit all publication materials, pay at least one regular registration, and present the work at the conference. Authors who are unable to attend and present their work must pay attention to special instructions in either C2 or C3.
A. Submit publication materials
The author must submit the final version of manuscript and IEEE Copyright form before the due submission deadline. These are submitted through the paper submission system, which is entered from the conference website. IEEE is very strict about the requirements for PDF files for inclusion in IEEEXplore. We strongly recommend to use PDF eXpress to check your final version.
B. Pay full registration fee
An author must pay a full, regular registration fee before December 18th. Reduced registration fees (i.e. retired registration, student registration, etc) are not considered regular, and will NOT be accepted for publication. NOTE: Each full, regular registration entitles an author to publish up one (1) paper. A second paper can be published with an extra paper charge of USD 100. A third paper requires 2 registration fees, four papers requires 2 registration fees plus 2 extra paper charge, etc.
C. Present the work
Presentation is defined as one of the following:
- By author: Ideally, the primary author will attend the conference and present their contribution. This is the classical way of participating in conferences, and authors gain the greatest professional benefits.
- By colleague: If the primary author cannot attend, then a qualified colleague may present the paper. A qualified colleague is one who is familiar with the technical field, and is capable of discussing the issues. The primary author misses the technical interaction, but fulfils professional obligations. NOTE: A full regular registration must be paid even if the qualified colleague is an author of another paper in the conference.
- Absent authors: If the author or qualified colleague cannot attend the conference, then the author must notify the General Chairs and Local Committee before December 18th. The absent author must also submit his/her work as a poster to the Local Committee by post or express mail service no later than January 15th, 2010.
The conference program committee will review the presentation, and then the poster will be presented in one of the Interactive Dialogue Sessions. In case the presentation is considered non acceptable, then the paper will be considered NOT PRESENTED.
NOTE: A full regular registration fee must be paid, and absent authors may submit only one (1) paper per regular fee. Papers that do not meet all three requirements (A, B, and C) will be removed after the conference, and will not be indexed for either IEEEXplore or EI Compendex. No registration refund will be given in any case.
According to this policy, ICIT 2010 will publish and distribute at the conference a Conference Proceedings CD, without copyrights and ISBN numbers. The no-show papers will be removed from the ICIT 2010 Proceedings CD before sending the package, with copyrights and ISBN numbers, to IEEEXplorer.
