    ICSM Workshops
     
    These workshops are part of the ICSM Conference at no extra cost, but you must sign up for any of them that you plan to attend. Many of these workshops have limited capacity, so it is strongly suggested that you sign up for them when you register for the conference. If you wait to select one on-site, the workshop you want might not have space available. Some of these sessions give priority to attendees who have had psoition papers accepted, in which case the sign up is for remaining seats if space is available.
     
    (Only the sessions requiring sign up are listed here. See the ICSM program for the entire list of conference sessions.)
     
    • A Research Agenda for Maintenance and Evolution of SOA-Based Systems (MESOA) (September 29 full day)

    Payments

     
    Payment must be received by August 30 to qualify for early registration discount.
     
    ICSM 2008 registration is handled by our cooperating sponsor, the Reengineering Forum industry association ('REF').
     
    Payment through PayPal
     
      Payment in U.S. Dollars (USD) can be made on-line through the PayPal, a subsidiary of eBay.com, at any of its sites:       paypal.com             paypal.fr             paypal.it       using a credit card or a PayPal account. The payment must be directed to REF's PayPal account "reengineer@reengineer.org".
       
      Note that you can pay by credit card through PayPal in USD without providing your credit card details to ICSM, IEEE, or REF.
       
      Note that payment must be received by August 30 to qualify for early registration discount.
       
    Credit Cards
     
      When a credit card payment is listed on the registration form, the credit card charge in U.S. Dollars (USD) is processed by REF through either the PayPal or PathBridge service firms. By providing information for a credit card payment, you agree that REF may act as your agent in the placement of the credit card charge and you agree to the terms stated on this page.
       
      For security and fraud prevention, credit card charges are processed off-line either the same day or within a few days after your registration is received. You will be notified by email from icsm2008@reengineer.org if there is any problem with the credit card transaction.
       
      Credit card charges now require that you provide the Card Verification Number (CVN) (sometimes also called CID) that is printed on your card. For Visa & MC, the Card Verification Number is printed on the back of the card in the signature area. For Amex, it is printed on the front of the card. These numbers are flat printing, not raised lettering.
      Examples:   Visa/MC     Amex
       
      Credit card charges placed by Reengineering Forum will appear on your card statement as one of:
                      -- "PayPal" with a reference of "ICSM 2008 conference".
                      or
                      -- "PayPal" with a reference of "Reengr Forum".
                      or
                      -- "Pathbridge", possibly with REF's phone number "7812720049".
      Please advise whoever will review your charge statement that this item is your ICSM registration. (Unnecessary disputes on credit card charges cause higher fees and therefore higher registration rates.)
       
      Note that payment must be received by August 30 to qualify for early registration discount.
       
    Bank Transfers
     
      Since bank transfers take at least seven business days to arrive, registrations made after August 20 that are paying by bank transfer will be at the "recevied after August 30" rate. Registrations placed after September 17 may not be paid by bank transfer.
       
      There is an extra 25 USD fee for paying by Bank Transfer to cover the cost to the non-profit conference of receiving the transfer payment.
       
      To pay for your ICSM registration by bank transfer, follow these instructions:
        Route the transfer to:
        • Bank: Citizens Bank
        • SWIFT code: CTZI US 33
        • ABA Routing number: 011 500 120
        • Account number: 130324-900-3
        • Account of: Reengineering Forum
        • Citizens Bank - 1 Citizens Drive, Riverside, RI 02915, USA
        • Purpose: ICSM 2008 [attendee-name]
           
        The payment must be made in USD. All bank charges and exchange fees must be paid by the registering party. Be sure to instruct your bank that our bank must receive the entire transfer registration amount. No fees may be taken out of this amount. Pay any transfer fees to your bank separate from the ICSM registration amount.
         
      Registrations indicating payment by bank transfer are not valid until payment is received in full.
       
      Note that payment must be received by August 30 to qualify for early registration discount. If your transfer will arrive after this date, the early discount does not apply. Transfer the higher amount for regular registration. Contact icsm2008@reengineer.org if you have any questions.
       
    Notes
     
      Due to the international epidemic of attempted visa, entry permit, conference registration, and credit card fraud, the conference and its sponsors reserve the right to question any registration request and only honor it on receipt of valid proof of active research or industry participation in the technical field of the conference. In case of any issue, the decision will be up to the registration staff and conference organizing committee.
       
      Registration fees for the full conference include one copy of conference proceedings materials, one ticket to conference meals and social events, and refreshment breaks. These items are not separately priced. Registration fees include any applicable taxes.
       
      Whichever method of payment is used, make sure you include the name of the attendee.
       
      An USD 50 handling fee will be applied to all cancelled registrations. No refunds after Sunday, September 14. Fees cannot be refunded for registrations canceled after this deadline.
       
      Any substitution of attendees must be approved in advance by the General Chair.
       
      Student rate applies only to full-time undergraduate and graduate students, not otherwise employed. Proof of full-time student status is required, which can be a letter from your department on university stationery.
       
      As a technical meeting of the field (not a trade show), all paper presenters register for the conference.
