4. New deadline for submission of your full paper (Posted on Jan. 5, 2007)

Since many of you had not received the acceptance message until very recently, we would like to extend full paper submission deadline. Now the deadline for full paper submission is extended to Feb. 20th, 2007.

3. Your Email systems might not work properly (Posted on Jan. 1, 2007)

We continue to get some inquiries on if a submission is accepted or not. None of other submissions (except those listed in "Message 1") had indications coming back from their email accounts. Some of you are using Yahoo email systems, please check if our replied emails were pushed to the "Bulk" folder. Many organizations have implemented so-called anti-spam email systems or some-sort email detection systems. Those systems do not work properly (as a matter of fact they work terribly based on what we know). So please contact the administrators if possible. Ask them why legitimate emails were rejected or removed.

Anyhow, please send us an email by copying to robinqiu@psu.edu if you still haven't got our reply after you submitted your abstract. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Here is the acceptance message:

I am very pleased to inform you that your submitted Abstract has been accepted for inclusion in the FAIM 2007 conference.

I would like to invite you to submit the full paper by January 20th, 2007. Please submit the paper with two files, one in MS Word and the other in PDF format. The length of the paper should not exceed eight pages. Please use the template provided on the FAIM2007 website.

The Author's Guide and FAIM2007 Paper Template are available on the FAIM2007 website - http://www.ssglobal.org/faim2007/Author.htm. The deadline for receiving your full paper is January 20th, 2007 (now the deadline for full paper submission is extended to Feb. 20th, 2007). All papers will be peer reviewed.

The Organizing Committee looks forward to receiving your full paper. Please send your full paper to admin@faim2007.org with your Paper Reference Number included in the email subject.

PLEASE NOTE: papers will not be published in the proceedings unless full registration fees are received by the due date (April 20th 2007).

2. Email systems are not reliable (Posted on Dec. 17, 2006)

We have received several inquiries on their paper submissions. For some reasons, our reply emails were not successfully delivered although we did not receive bounce-back notifications or "spam" rejection notes. Apparently, email systems are not reliable.

Therefore, please send us an email by copying to robinqiu@psu.edu if you still haven't got our reply after you submitted your abstract. Sorry for the inconvenience.
