Notes:
Proposals submitted to IST2008 should not be submitted in parallel to other events. Proposals accepted or rejected by other similar events would not be processed by the IST2008 TPC.
Proposals corresponded by student authors should obtain prior approval of their advisors before submission. All correspondences would also address the co-authors for their information.
The attention of prospective authors is drawn to the IST2008 policy on plagiarism. Use of material from other sources without giving credit to the reference is not ethical. Proposals containing plagiarism would not be considered by the IST2008 TPC.
To avoid plagiarizing, credit must be given whenever the followings are used:
another person’s idea, opinion, or theory.
any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings—any pieces of information—that are not common knowledge.
quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words.
paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.
Workshops
Tutorial proposals on subjects describing new developments in systems, technologies or applications are welcomed. Length should be tailored for half-day or full-day presentation using PowerPoint or overhead projector slides. Distribution of supplementary handouts or brochures is encouraged.
Exhibition Proposals
There will be a limited exhibition space for exhibitors of latest innovations in ICT. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their practicality, relevance and priority.
