Every paper (full, short or poster) must be registered prior to publication in the proceedings and must be presented at the conference.
The registration deadline for the conference is May 19, 2008.

Payment can be done by bank transfer or Paypal (if you want to pay using a credit card such as VISA or American Express).

If you wish to pay by Credit Card, please be aware that if you are not already registered with Paypal, it can take up to 5 working days for their system to allow a new member to send sums of money in excess of 500€ (euros).

Payment using Paypal
This is the prefered method of payment. This method of payment will allow you during the registration process to automatically pay for your registration fees, and to have your registration confirmed immediately by our system. This is also the cheapest mean of payment to you, as you are charged only for the registration fee. Please choose the Paypal option if you want to pay using a credit card such as VISA or American Express. Paypal payments use the highest level of encryption available and are completely safe.
When, in our system you choose "Paypal Payment", the system will redirect you to the paypal website, where you can have access to your shopping cart. Once you complete your payment, the paypal webpage will show you a button that allows you to return to our system entitled "Return to Merchant". Only when you press it our system will acknowledge that the payment was made. If by any reason you don't press this button, the registration will be pending until you contact us and we can manually acknowledge that the payment was indeed received.

Payment by Bank Transfer
Please send us the bank transfer confirmation document by fax (+ 44 203 014 5433) or e-mail (secretariat@icsoft.org) to assure the proper identification of the payment. Until we receive the document the registration will be considered incomplete. Please take note, that while ordering the bank transfer you must order it "Without costs to the beneficiary (OUR)", which means that besides the registration fee, depending on your bank location, you will also have to pay an international transfer fee.
