Submission of Papers

Full papers (not solely abstracts) must be submitted for review to wimob@congresbcu.com. Only original papers, unpublished nor submitted for publication elsewhere, can be submitted.

Papers must be written in English and should follow the suggested instructions in the template file available in both MS Word (.DOC) format or Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) format.  The first page should include paper title, abstract, list of keywords indicating the paper topic area and symposium, the authors' full names, affiliations and complete addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.

Preferred maximum paper length is 8 printed pages (10-point font) including figures. However, papers for review of up to 9 pages in length will also be accepted, although accepted papers exceeding 8 pages will be charged an overlength fee of $100 for the 9th  page. Under no circumstances may any submission exceed 9 pages. Papers in excess of 9 pages shall not be considered for review nor publication.

Papers can be submitted in MS Word, PDF or Postscript files. All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least three experts and returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of accepted papers. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must be duly registered for the conference in order for the paper to appear in the proceedings and be scheduled in the conference program.

When submitting your paper please include the following information in the body of the email:
