The submission deadline for full-length papers is **01 August 2008**.

ONLY ON-LINE SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Acceptance of your paper is made with the understanding that at least one author will attend the conference to present the paper. If a paper is not presented during a session, it causes severe disruption to the session. To avoid such interruptions, we would greatly appreciate it if you would write an email to gst@cotesys.org and withdraw your paper as soon as possible in the event that you or a co-author cannot attend the conference to present the paper.

Draft Papers:

Draft reviews are single-blind. Please include author names and affiliations.

Preparation of Final Camera-Ready Papers:

Final papers should be up to 6 pages long. Note, accepted papers for the proceedings can be up to 8 pages long, with extra page charges (for each page beyond 6 pages), see below, maximum 8 pages. The paper size for the final submission should be A4. All necessary forms needed for submission of your final manuscript will be created by the electronic submission website at the time of final submission. Authors need to sign and submit the IEEE copyright release form and will only be able to upload papers once they have completed the copyright transfer process. Electronic submission of the final camera-ready version of the manuscript is due by **12 September 2008**.

Authors must carefully consider the reviewers’ comments and take them into account when preparing the final paper.

If you have any questions concerning the submission of your final paper, please check the conference submission website. If your question is still not answered then contact gst@cotesys.org
