Steps to Submit a Paper

1. Please ensure that your paper follows the Paper Guidelines provided and uses the IST-Africa Template

3. If you have not previously registered on the IST-Africa portal, please click on New User and complete your contact details. The server will issue you with a username and password by e-mail to allow you to access your personal page.

4. Upon completion of your details, you will automatically be redirected to the paper submission form where you will enter your paper title, co-authors and the relevant classification (paper type and thematic classification).

7. You can review the paper submitted via your personal page and update and resubmit it up to the deadline of 07 December 2012. Each submission receives a unique reference number. Updated versions for a submission must be submitted by clicking on the Resubmit link beside the Paper link in the Paper Details section on your personal page. Previous versions of your paper are automatically overwritten when a new version is saved. Only the last version submitted before the deadline is reviewed. Please note that once a paper has been allocated to the Programme Committee for review, it is no longer possible to resubmit it.

8. While authors are welcome to submit papers on behalf of co-authors at the review stage, subject to acceptance for inclusion in the Programme it will then be necessary to indicate a unique presenter for each paper, who is not already in the Programme. Each presenter can present one paper in the Programme.
