FINAL SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS
(FAQ 12) The acceptance letter reminds me that I have to send the final version of my paper to the conference. Why do I need to do that? I have already sent the conference my final paper when I submit my manuscript.
After receiving the acceptance letter, you still have an opportunity proofreading your paper and making necessary revisal. That is, it is the last chance to modify your manuscript. After the deadline of final submission, your manuscript can no longer be changed. The deadline for final version of papers is January 30, 2008.
Anyway, if authors do not submit their final version of their manuscripts, the original submission manuscripts will be used for the conference proceedings. That is, January 30, 2008 is the last date to update or revise the manuscripts. Thereafter, the conference proceedings will be finalized.

I just have the abstract published in the proceedings? Or if
a full paper is sent to you and it is accepted, the full
paper has to be included in the proceedings? And if I just
want to get an abstract published, can I just submit an
abstract? Please clarify it.
We respect the choice made by the author(s).

What you upload in "final submission" is what you get published in the proceedings.
(FAQ 14)Will each accepted paper be published in full, or
will some only be published in abstract form?

(FAQ 15) I'd like to know if an abstract or the full paper

You can submit the manuscript at anytime you want. Some participants prefer to submit after the conference. Some prefer to submit it before the conference. It's up to you.
