a presenter/registrant to go with the paper. For regular papers, you may indicate
your preference between an oral presentation and a possible poster session (if the
number of accepted papers exceeds the available number of oral presentation slots)
in uploading your paper.
Each paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers who have expertise on the topic dealt with. The papers accepted for both oral presentation and the possible
poster session will be included in the proceedings. All papers accepted for the
conference constitute agreement that the author(s) pay a non-refundable paper deposit
of US$ 50 per each paper when the final paper is accepted on March 20, 2007, and
will register for the conference at the appropriate fee(s), attend the conference,
and present the paper in person. The registration fee includes the paper deposit
for only one paper. At present, the number of accepted abstracts exceeds the number
of slots available for oral presentations. Some authors are requested to combine
similar abstracts to a single paper. In addition, procedures are implemented to
limit the number of oral presentations of an author to either one or a maximum of
two if both papers are of high quality. In the case of an author delivering two
presentations, the author should pay the registration fee plus an extra US$ 50 as
the paper deposit for the second paper. English shall be the official language throughout the conference.
Papers will be made available to conference participants on CD. It is planned to publish the top 10% of the soil mechanics/soil engineering papers as well as top 10% of the rock mechanics/rock engineering papers of the conference as a special issue in the International Journal of Geotechnical and Geological Engineering.
