(1) Deadline for the Special Session:
Organizers of special sessions can decide their own papers submission / notification deadline. But we recommend keep the date information of NCM2008.
(2) Submission for final accepted papers of the special session:
Due to the publication schedule, special session organizers should upload the accepted paper list (paper number, title, corresponding author name, contact e-mail address) and the final accepted papers to the "Submission of Accepted papers of special sessions"(will be opend) before June 10. The final camera-ready paper should be submitted directly to IEEE from each author following the notification of acceptance from IEEE and NCM2008.
(3) Proceedings of the special session:
Proceedings for the special sessions will be included in the proceedings of NCM2008 and published by IEEE CS series.
(4) Submission method for the special session:
Method: By e-mail of the special session organizer.
Generally, we recommend the case1. It is the responsibility of the special session organizer to collect papers, process reviews, make decisions about acceptance and rejection.
We also believe that special session organizers may have more autonomy by having their own review process seperate from the main session.
(5) How can I or other reviewers review the submitted papers? I need to know if there are any official tools for receiving reviewer comments.
Ans.: Each special session organizer is responsible for establishing their own review process for the papers submitted to each special session. We don't need the review documents.
(6) How can I contact authors for accept/reject notification?
Ans.: Each special session organizer should keep in touch with authors using whatever means necessary. In many cases, email would work fine, though it may require appropriate attention on both sides. special session organizers are responsible for maintaining communication and keeping those on file.
(7) Can you tell me the general registration fees for the conference?
Ans.: The registration fee is not determined yet. It will be determined by situational factors such as number of expected registrants, local sponsors, and etc. However, it will be comparable to other IEEE conferences.
(8) Can the conference organizers make out a bill(receipt) when the author attend the conference?
Ans.: Receipt for the conference registration will be made out to each registrant and given out with the conference proceedings at the conference site by the main conference office.
