Congratulations!   We are pleased that your paper has been accepted to the Thirty-Eighth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-38).   If your paper was "conditionally accepted" -- requiring mandatory changes -- final acceptance is conditional upon submission of your revised paper via the file submission site by September 15.  (Optional changes must also be made by that date.)

The HICSS-38 Proceedings will be published and distributed by the Computer Society Press of the IEEE and listed in its publication brochures. You must follow the IEEE Proceedings Guidelines and their deadlines to ensure that the Proceedings are ready for distribution at the Conference in January. 

These are the exact steps that you must complete by 5pm PST, September 15:  

• Revise your paper
  To see reviewers' comments on your paper, access the HICSS Final Submission site at http://www.incontrolproductions.com/ICPauthrev/log.asp

 Use the following information to access your account:
    -- Conference ID: HICSS38
    -- Your Email Address:
    -- Password: (as given to you in your acceptance letter)

Revise your paper (with either optional or mandatory changes) based on the reviewer(s) evaluation of your submission.

• Upload the final version of your paper
  Upload your revised file by logging into the HICSS38 Final Submission site http://www.incontrolproductions.com/ICPauthrev/log.asp as instructed in your acceptance letter.  Click on the link "Revise Paper." Follow the instructions to complete your upload. Your file will be converted to PDF and made available for your review.  Review it carefully. If it meets with your approval, you must set the status to "Approve."  (If instead you need to revise further, repeat the process above.)  NOTE: It is essential that you review your PDF carefully before assigning the "Approved" status. Once you have approved your submission, revisions are no longer allowed.
   
• There is no need for you to specifically prepare an Abstract file.  Abstracts are now being automatically collected through the submission site. This means that the Abstract is extracted directly from the approved PDF of your paper. You do not upload a separate abstract file.

·         Check to make sure your paper information is correct - In the "File Status" table click on the ID of your paper (PIDXXXXX) and make any updates as needed, specifically paper title, (all) authors, and author ordering.  When finished, click on the "Update Paper Information" button to submit your changes. 
 

• Submit a Copyright Form
  You are required to complete and fax a Copyright Form. The Copyright Form is available to you only during the uploading process http://www.incontrolproductions.com/ICPauthrev/log.asp . To view your Copyright Form, click the link "View" located to the right of the text "Copyright."  A Copyright Form is displayed that contains your paper title, authors, and the conference title.  If the information is correct, you need only print the form, sign it, and fax it to the phone number provided at the top of the form.  If you have more then one paper you will need to do this for each one. 
   
• Submit your Audio-visual Request
  Log into your Final Submission account http://www.incontrolproductions.com/ICPauthrev/log.asp .  In the "File Status" table click on the ID of your paper (PIDXXXXX).  Complete the appropriate fields for the particular AV support you are requesting, and submit.
