and high school) are eligible for the student rate. You will
need to send your proof of full time student status to registration
support, Jill Skuba,
What is proof of full time student status?
Proof of full time student status can be a scan of your
student ID, or a letter or other document from your professor
or university that states you are a full time student. A
copy of your class schedule is not a valid form of proof.
Is there a discount on registration rates for presenters?
No. The only registration discount available is to ACM or
SIGEVO members.
Is there a discount for group registration?

What is the registration requirement for authors of accepted
papers?
GEC World Summit requires
at least one author (the presenting author)
of each accepted full or poster paper to complete a paid
registration by
the AUTHOR REGISTRATION DEADLINE, MARCH 30, 2009, or the
paper will be
removed from the proceedings.
One registered author may register for, and present,
at most, one full
paper and one poster paper, or two poster papers. No
one author may
present more than one full paper unless he/she is the
sole author of
both of those papers.
My paper has more than one author
- are all authors required to register?
No. Only the presenting
author is required to register. However, if an accepted
paper has more than one author, and more than one of those
authors will attend, then each author who attends the conference
must pay a registration. Only the presenting author must
register by the deadline; the other authors do not have
a deadline to register.
We are authors of more than one
accepted paper - will we be able to present all of our
accepted papers under one paid registration?
No. One registered author
may register for, and present, at most, one full paper
and one poster paper, or two poster papers. No one author
may present more than one full paper unless he/she is the
sole author of
both of those papers.
My paper was accepted; what happens if I don't register?
If none of the authors of your paper have completed a paid
registration by the author registration deadline, your paper
will be removed from the proceedings.
I registered, but I can't attend the conference - may I
have a refund?
No cancellations or refunds will be given, but a registered
individual may transfer their registration to another person.
The registered individual must make the request for the transfer
to Registration Support prior to the start of the conference.
A registration is for one person, and may not be shared among
individuals.

Papers
My paper was accepted - now what happens?
Once your paper is accepted, you will prepare and submit
final files to Sheridan Printing Company for inclusion in
the Proceedings. Sheridan, our ACM publisher, will send to
your CONTACT AUTHOR an email with detailed instructions about
submitting final files and completing the copyright form.
After you submit your final files to Sheridan, your CONTACT
AUTHOR should monitor email for messages from Sheridan: either
that the files were approved, or that the files require format
corrections. If Sheridan requests format corrections, you
must submit corrected files immediately. Delay could cause
your paper to be omitted from the Proceedings.
My paper was accepted - is it mandatory to include the introductory
sections on the ACM template (Abstract, Categories, General
Terms, Keywords)?
Yes, if your paper was accepted as a poster, it is mandatory
to include the introductory sections on the ACM template
(Abstract, Categories, General Terms, Keywords).
For the final, camera ready files for my accepted paper,
may I choose the fonts and font sizes, or do I have to follow
other directives?
All final files submitted to Sheridan to be included in
the proceedings MUST use and follow the provided ACM template,
including fonts, font sizes, page size (US LETTER), page
margins, and all other template specifications.
What are the
choices for terms in the ACM mandatory section "ACM
Categories & Subject Descriptors"?
The ACM Computing Classification Scheme is available at:
http://www.acm.org/class/1998/.
What are the
choices for terms in the ACM mandatory section "General
Terms"?
This section is limited to the following 16 terms and MUST
be chosen properly on the submission page and appear on the
first page of your paper: Algorithms, Design, Documentation,
Economics, Experimentation, Human Factors, Languages, Legal
Aspects, Management, Measurement, Performance, Reliability,
Security, Standardization, Theory, Verification.
What are the choices
for terms in the "Keywords" section?
This section is your choice of the terms by which you would
like your paper to be indexed.
Where do I find the copyright form?
If your paper is accepted, the Sheridan system will automatically
generate the correct form when you submit your final files.

Proceedings
Where will the proceedings be indexed?
ACM will submit the GEC Summit Proceedings
to ISI for indexing. All
other ACM SIGEVO conference proceedings are indexed
by ISI, so it is the
expectation that the GEC Summit Proceedings will also
be, as the GEC
Summit Proceedings also meet the criteria for indexing
by ISI.
The printed index product from ISI is called ISTP, and
the on-line
version is now called the Proceedings Citation Index (PCI).
The PCI is
included in the Web of Science product. ACM Proceedings
are also
completely indexed in SCOPUS.
ACM Proceedings are also included in ACM's Guided to Computing Literature,
an on-line bibliographic database that indexes ACM's own publications and
those of other major publishers in computer science. It is also a citation
index with author profiles showing citation statistics as well as download
usage for all the full text articles in the ACM Digital Library.
Because ACM's conference proceedings
are published as volumes, not journals, they cannot
be included in SCI (or SCIE), because those are JOURNAL
indices, so conference proceedings published as volumes
are not eligible for indexing there. That is no reflection
on the quality of the conference proceedings.
How do I buy proceedings?
Proceedings will be available for purchase at the ACM Store.
Will the Proceedings be available online?
The Proceedings will be available online in the ACM Digital
Library. If you are a SIGEVO member or an ACM member, you
may access the conference Proceedings in the Digital Library.
TRAVEL VISA SUPPORT
How do I obtain a letter of invitation to the conference?
International registrants should be particularly
aware and careful about visa requirements, and should plan
travel well in advance. All visa support inquiries must
be handled by ACM headquarters.
Please note that ACM does
not issue formal "letters
of invitation" to any of its conferences.
Please send your request for a letter in
support of a visa application to the Office of SIG Services
(  )
at ACM headquarters Your request must include:
- Name as it appears on your passport
- Residence address and a ship-to address if different
- The name of the conference you wish to attend
- Registration confirmation number
- If you have any papers accepted for the conference, please indicate whether
you are the sole author or a co-author, and provide the full title of the
paper
- Fax number
Please Note: Visa Support
letters are not issued via email.
