Dear all,
we are always quite upset about the growing number of no-shows at our conferences.
The following shows that this is not a problem of IFIP alone. In this case, this a little dubious event charged 185 USD for a CD-ROM + a promise to review the manuscripts "in most cases" but of course to include them into the CD-ROM without any obligation to attend the event (see the two last lines which are marked by an asterisk).
Have fun (or are you shocked?).
Best regards Otto

Virtual Presentations
Those who are unable to attend the conference in person but wish to participate in this major international event, virtual presentation is available. Virtual Presentation allow participants to submit papers for refereeing and publication in the conference proceedings, just like a regular paper. Virtual participants will receive a full copy of the conference proceedings. In 2005 IBIMA conferences, there were more than 100 virtual presentations.

The review process for virtual presentations will strictly follow the review process for regular submissions. Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution. Each paper will be exposed to a full blind peer review in most cases. Short papers will be reviewed by the editor. Summary of review feedback/reports will be sent back to the author(s) in most cases. All comments and suggestions should be addressed in the final submission. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
* Please note that a virtual presentation does not mean you are able to present by remote (e.g. Internet streaming or teleconferencing).
