Note:

  1. Every paper accepted for publication in the Proceedings of CCNC 2007 MUST be presented during the conference. Accepted papers may be presented in either oral format or poster format. The format of presentation does not differentiate the quality of the paper. A paper's format of presentation will be decided by the conference program chairs based on the paper topic and session allocation. For those who desire to have a more interactive presentation opportunity, you can request to present your paper in a poster presentation session in your cover letter. The conference program chairs will properly consider your request.
  2. Every paper accepted for CCNC 2007 MUST have attached to it at least one registration at the full member/nonmember rate. Thus, for a paper for which all authors are students, one student author will be required to register at the full registration rate. For papers where at least one author is already registered at the full rate, this fulfills the obligation for up to four papers where all the other authors are students.

STUDENT GRANTS

A limited number of Student Travel Grants are available to those student authors who will be presenting papers and are unable to obtain funding to attend the symposium. The form will be available on the web on or after 1 September, 2006.

BEST PAPER AWARD

There will be a Best Paper Award (BPA) for the best submitted paper. Potential candidates for awards will be identified during the normal review process. A special independent Awards Committee will be formed to evaluate the candidate papers to select the award winners. The Awards Committee has the right to give the award to one paper, not to give an award, or to split the award among several papers. The BPA winner shall be announced and a plaque signed by the ComSoc president will be given to the BPA winner during the CCNC2007 award ceremony.

Qualification and requirement for Best Student Paper Award:

To be eligible, the student must be the sole author of the paper, or the first author and primary contributor. A cover letter to the TPC Chair must identify the paper as a candidate for this competition at the time of submission.

Potential candidates for awards will be identified during the normal review process. A special independent Awards Committee will be formed to evaluate the candidate papers together with their presentations and to select the award winners. The Awards Committee has the right to give the award to one paper, not to give an award, or to split the award among several papers.
