Submission

Although the venue is substantially large to accommodate a large numbers of participation, the history of ICSB indicates it is constantly overflowed and had to turn down substantial numbers of potential participants. For ICSB-2006, we are trying to provide slots for 600-700 posters. For those who wish to make travel arrangement and registration sooner, and secure participation slot for ICSB, we create an early-bird submission (The Round One Track) and registration track (The Early Registration).

CAUTION: Some of posters submitted for Round One may be held for consideration in Round Two decision. Depending on the quality and quantity of early submissions, only limited slots may be available from those submitted later.
