Here you will find some of the most common questions and their answers about the iEMSs 2008 Congress, but if you have further trouble, contact iEMSS 2008 Convenor (iemss2008@lsi.upc.edu):
Two clearly different paths for sending submissions:
Types of Congress participants:
Congress participants are of 4 types:
Roadmap for registering & payment at the WCMT:
All Congress Participants must undertake the registration and payment with the WCMT.
Assignment of co-authors is not ever needed:
The assignment of co-authors is not even necessary unless the main author is not presenting the paper. In that case, it is mandatory that the co-author who is presenting the paper be assigned as a co-author, in order that she/he can be registered and make the appropriate fee payment for the congress. If other co-authors are attending the congress, and thus, they also need to make their fee payment, they must be registered as co-authors.
Thus, it is important to list coauthors especially when a coauthor is expected to attend the conference and deliver the paper in place of the person who submitted the abstract. Anyway, the association between paper and authors can be done at any stage by the person who originally submitted the abstract.
Workshops Discussion Space Wikis (WDSWs) operation:
The idea of the workshops track is that they are a "not so formal" track as the sessions track. That is to say that workshop organisers can manage themselves all the process as they want. Of course a workshop abstract reviewing process will be done, and the workshop deadlines must be satisfied.
For that reason, a Workshop Discussion Space Wiki (WDSW) was created for each workshop. Each WDSW is protected against editing and uploading with a password which is known by the Workshop organiser main contact. Please contact her/him to receive the password. A template was created for Workshop organisers and workshop participants, but you can edit your WDSW as you want. It is very simple. Concretely it were created:
If the WPP have not been already uploaded, you can see a superscript triangle at the end of the link of WorkshopPaper.pdf template. That means that your Wiki is
ready to accept an upload (provided that you know the password of the WDSW) when you click on the link. After the WPP has been uploaded the
triangle does not appear anymore. Now the link is ready to download the WPP when you click on the link.
Only one caution: when uploading a file in the attach wiki service you select the file you want to upload (browsing in your computer), and then you can name the
attachment as you want. If you maintain the name that the template offers you, you do not have to do anthing else!!!!, but if you change the attachment name,
then you should edit your wiki space to get a new template like: [['''new_name_you_have_given.pdf | whatever_name_you_want_to_appear_in_the_web''']]
If you do not make this change in the template, the file, even though it has been uploaded in the wiki space, cannot be downloaded from the web.
For submitting a new abstract to the workshop, please follow the instructions in the wiki space.
It is really very simple. Please try it, and you will see that it is quite powerful and useful.
REMEMBER:
If you have doubts, in htpp:/www.pmwiki.org explains the basic options of the wiki. Specially, the section about "Basic Editing".
I hope this will help you. If not, contact the workshop organiser to receive further and specialised instructions
