Re: ISWC06 Call for Papers

From Wear-Hard Mailing list Archive (WH) Maintained by R. Paul McCarty

Why?
Why have an april 21/24 submission deadline for an event in OCtober 11th?
sure one could argue time required to review submissions,  however a blind 
man with one hand could review the average ISWC submissions in a week 
easy.

I think there needs to be a revisions, for Students at least, in general 
i'd like the submission deadline extended until 2 months prior to event. 
Computing technology changes so fast an energy efficient platform today 
some five months prior to a wearable computing convention,   is old when 
come to show time.

Are submission deadlines, following some rule of IEEE?   if not mind 
giving a bit of elaboration as to why such short deadlines???

As a list subscriber for a few years i've often wondered at such early 
submission deadlines,  if five months are required to review a students or 
anybodys submission,  then what are the specific examination principals 
and practices.

i'll probably visit your convention, mostly to see some work of my defense 
spending, still since i'm a student currently and another student asked me 
the same question, i feel obligated to pass on the above.

Best Regards,
