Note:

  1. Every paper accepted for publication in the Proceedings of CCNC 2006 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 2006 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.
