Key submission dates

• Presenters may elect to have their paper considered for the refereed or the non-refereed stream. Refereed papers will be included in a printed volume of conference proceedings (which will satisfy DEST E1 referred conference proceedings requirements), while non-refereed papers will be available on CD and the Internet.

• You will receive advice by E-mail by September 8, 2008 as to whether your abstract has been accepted.
• Abstracts for the non-refereed stream should be submitted by September 29, 2008.

• Refereeing will take place between October 13 and November 10, 2008.
• Authors should note that the paper may be rejected from the refereed volume at the refereeing stage.
• Refereed papers will be returned to authors for final editing on November 11, 2008 or before as the referees comments come back.
• Authors must then return final versions of their papers by November 21, 2007 to allow for the production and printing of the Volume.
