Pre-Conference and Post-conference VIRTUAL sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so sessions' papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before the conferences, and after it is over. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions.

All Submitted papers will be reviewed using a double-blind (at least three reviewers), non-blind, and participative peer review. Accepted papers of registered authors will be published in the printed and the CD versions of the proceedings. The proceedings will also be published via web for Full Open Access.

All attendees of the last AG 2008 conference, and its collocated ones, were asked to be surveyed online. Those who filled the survey form (602 attendees) rated the conferences with an average of 8.42 on a scale of 10. More specifically, 58.7% rated them in the range of 8-10, while just 7 attendees (1.16%) rated them below 5. More details regarding this and other questions can be found at: http://www.iiis.org/iiis/StatisticsandOpinions/WMSCI2008/

Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference will have access to the reviews made to their submission so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions.

All accepted papers where at least one author is effectively registered in the conference will be included in the hard copy and the CD versions of the conference proceedings. For Invited Sessions Proposals, please go to the conference web site or directly to: http://www.ICTconfer.org/ag/Organizer.asp

The best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference will be selected from these session's best papers, and will also be published in Volume 7 of JSCI Journal (http://www.j-sci.com/Journal/SCI/), with no additional cost for their authors.
