From lbcao from it.uts.edu.au Thu Sep 18 02:59:00 2008 From: lbcao from it.uts.edu.au (Longbing Cao) Date: Thu Sep 18 11:57:06 2008 Subject: [Bio-matrix] Regarding the Special Issue on Agents and Data Mining on IEEE Intelligent Systems Message-ID: <48D20A44.2010303@it.uts.edu.au> Dear colleagues and authors, [Apologize if this is not related to you.] With regard to the Special Issue on Agents and Data Mining on IEEE Intelligent Systems, www.computer.org/portal/pages/intelligent/content/AgentsDMCFP.html I recently received plenty of requests from Asia, Europe and America asking for extension of the deadline. In addition, I was informed that some of submissions have been sent back by IEEE IS for modification due to inconsistency with the submission guidelines, and there are plenty of submissions still under checking by IEEE IS and haven't gone into the special issue paper management system. To solve the above two issues, I have asked special approval from the IEEE IS to extend the due date to 24 September for both incoming submissions and those requested to be modified. If you have been asked by IEEE IS to change your submission to fit in the guideline, you may find the above due date in the email you received. For those who requested the extension and will submit the paper before the new deadline, please make sure your submission is aligned with IEEE IS submission guideline. Please note the above date is the hard cutting point.
