Only those who register and attend the conference to present their paper will receive the proceedings. Of course, there may be extenuating circumstances that completely inhibit a presenter from attending (e.g. illness, natural phenomena). In this case, we would be happy to send you the proceedings via regular mail. 2. Do you send e-mail confirmations of paper submissions? Yes. After we receive each paper submission, we assign the paper a reference number and then send out an e-mail reply confirming that we have received the submission. We request that the author make note of this reference number and refer to the number in the subject line of any future correspondence with ACIT regarding his submission. If you have not received an email confirmation stating that we have received your paper, please e-mail us. We will reply with either a confirmation that we did in fact receive the submission or a request that you resubmit your paper. Please do not resend your submission unless requested by ACIT. 3. Do I have to make my own hotel reservations? Yes. Once registration begins for the conference, the conference's web page on our site, www.acit2k.org, includes a hotel reservation form that you can print off, then complete and fax to the hotel directly. Of course, presenters may choose not to stay at the hotel we have recommended. Such persons should note that they are responsible for securing their own accommodations. Please also note that we make every effort to offer our conference attendees the most valuable option for lodging. We develop a contract with each hotel that we recommend, which usually allows us to offer the most affordable rates (i.e. due to the volume of occupancy of the conference attendees). 4. Can you explain how a paper submission is reviewed and by whom? The conference has a selected group of experts who make up the Technical Committee (TC). The TC serve as referees for the conference's paper submissions. When we receive a paper it is assigned a reference number. The submission is then assigned to at least two reviewers. Reviewers are matched to submissions based on the keywords indicated on the paper submission (i.e. we assign reviewers with areas of expertise or interest that match papers' keywords). Once all the reviews have been submitted, ACIT Program Committee determines which papers are accepted and which are rejected according to the final mark that a paper gets from the reviewers. 5. What is the Technical Committee (TC) responsible for? 6. How can I add my name to the mailing list of your conference? 7. What is the typical amount of time scheduled for paper presentations during the conferences? 8. I tried to upload my paper using ACIT OpenConf without a success? ACIT OpenConf has a limitation on the paper size which is 5 Mbytes. If your paper is more than the size that is allowed, you will not be able to upload it. In such a case, contact us at acit2k@zpu.edu.jo to solve the problem. 9. How to submit a paper using ACIT OpenConf? 10. Can I submit the paper in PDF format?
