We realize that authors may find the length of the submissions somewhat confining. While we understand the difficulties involved, the short length has long been a feature of the Global Internet Symposium and encourages new ideas that can be laid out simply and concisely. The chairs would like to request that you view the short format as a challenge to present crisp, clear discussion of the key ideas and interesting results of your work.

The authors of the accepted papers should closely follow the instructions below:

1. REGISTER for HSN 2009 by MARCH 20:
   
   http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2009/conferenceRegistration.htm
   
   At least one author must register and present each accepted paper at the workshop. Registering by March 20 provides the benefit of early registration rates.
2. REVISE your paper by APRIL 4 by carefully addressing all the comments in the provided reviews. As soon as the revision is complete, submit the camera-ready version and copyright transfer form for your paper to IEEE:
   
   http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/infocom09-ws/index.html
   
   Use info09-ws as a conference ID at the above IEEE Conference eXpress website. Ensure that the paper title and author list are the same as in the HSN 2009 program:
   
   http://www.encs.concordia.ca/~assi/hsn2009/program.html

3. PREPARE a succinct clear presentation for your paper. This year, the workshop will follow the style of shorter presentations, about 15 minutes per paper. Practice thoroughly in advance and make sure that your presentation communicates most important aspects of the work within the allocated time.

If you have any questions please email the TPC Chairs.
