You will be given detailed instructions how to check and submit the final version of an accepted paper in your e-mail of acceptance. We will also publish detailed instructions, including author's kit, on the ICON2007 web pages when the review process is completed.

All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by three experts and returned to the author(s) with comments. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance and correctness.

Submission of papers implies the authors' willingness to register for the conference and present the paper(s). An accepted paper will be published in the proceedings only if the final version is accompanied by the registration form(s) and fee(s) for at least one of the authors (only full member / non-member fees will be allowed). One author registration will guarantee publication of up to only two accepted papers.
