How to Contribute

Please prepare your research paper of no more than 4 pages in IEEE conference proceedings paper format. For paper submission, please use Microsoft Academic Conference Management Service. A paper should be submitted as a single PDF file. The IEEE manuscript templates for conference proceedings can be downloaded from here.
Submitted papers should be in English and contain unpublished contributions to computational and information sciences. Please note that we only accept a paper for peer review with the understanding that the paper has not been published elsewhere and has not been submitted for consideration of publication elsewhere.

If you need assistance if translating your papers into English, please go to Hongyan Translations.

The deadline for submitting a paper for consideration was July 1, 2011. There were so many people trying to submit papers by August 1, 2011 that the system was crashed. Please do not wait until the last day to submit your papers.
The notification for accepting or declining a paper is sent out by August 5, 2011.
The deadline for the submission of camera ready papers for publishing in the proceedings is August 15, 2011.
The registration fee must be received by the organizers by August 15 2011, in order for the paper to be included in the conference proceedings.
Students who wish their papers to be considered for the ICCIS2010 Best Student Paper Awards should indicate that the main author(s) of the paper is(are) graduate students (see below for details).

The paper should be in English and contain unpublished contributions to computational and information sciences. Submitted paper should have not been published elsewhere and should not be submitted for publication elsewhere simultaneously.

Invitation Letter for Visa Application

For people who need an official invitation letter from the Chair of the Local Organizing Committee in China for the purpose of applying for a Chinese entry visa, please contact the conference co-chairs. Please provide him with your name, full address, fax number, paper number, and paper title.

Presentations

Presentation of an accepted paper can be either in an oral format or in a poster format. The authors will notify the conference Chairs the preferred formats of their presentations. It is expected that all accepted and published papers will be presented in one of the formats, to allow interactions between the authors and the audience.
Publications

All accepted papers will be published by IEEE CPS in the IEEE conference proceedings, which will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed in EI and ISTP. The proceedings in CD will be available to the attendees during the conference. Authors who need their own papers in hardcopy should contact the conference local organizing committee, befor arriving for the conference, to request a hardcopy. After the conference, selected papers will be considered for publication as special issues in several journals. Guest editors and suggested journals are welcome. Those papers will go through the standard rigorous refereeing procedure established by the individual journals. Additional page charges by the journals are the responsibility of the authors.
Final Version of Accepted Papers

For preparing final version of your paper using IEEE conference proceedings format, instructions will be given after the papers are accepted.
Venue and Accommodations

The conference will be determined soon.

Student Paper Award and Presentation Support

Excellent papers whose main authors are graduate students will be judged and selected by the Student Paper Award Subcommittee of the Scientific Committee for their scientific merits. Up to five (5) best student papers may be selected for the ICCIS Student Paper Awards.
The student author should ask his/her advisor to send an e-mail to Dr. Jun Zhang (jzhang-AT-cs.uky.edu) stating that the student author is a full-time student and is the major contributor of the paper. The advisor should also comment on the merits of the paper.

The winners of the ICCIS Student Paper Awards will be presented with award certificates and a certain amount of cash at the conference. (The winners must attend the conference and present the papers in person.)

For the ICCIS 2010 winners of Student Paper Awards, please see ICCIS2010.

NEW to ICCIS 2011: Free hotel rooms will be available for a limited number of students who will present their papers at ICCIS2011. Please contact the conference organizers for details. The hotel rooms will be given out on a first come, first serve basis.
