Authors Presenting Multiple Papers:

It is the IEEE policy to require the registration of at least one author per paper. However, the ICDE 2009 organizers have reached the following compromise trying to accommodate the new policy while not penalizing authors of multiple papers unduly:

It is acceptable to have a co-author register for a paper even if another co-author will present it. In this way, if author A has paper 5 and 10 and he is presenting both papers, it is OK for A to register for paper 5 and for another co-author who will also attend the conference to register for paper 10 even if A will present both papers 5 and 10. However, if one author is registering to present multiple papers without any coauthor attending, there will be an additional fee of 200 USD per additional paper that single person will present.

In this case, the author should first register regularly for the first paper, then do another registration for the additional paper by choosing Additional Paper fee in the registration category through the conference registration system. Please note that one registration can only include ONE paper, each additional paper has to be registered again by choosing Additional Paper fee category (200 US$).

Note that if a multiple registration author has both conference paper(s) and workshop paper(s), he/she should first finish the full conference and workshop registration (category "Conference and Workshops" above) and then register for additional papers, if there are more than one conference or more than one workshop paper. For example, an author who will present 2 conference papers and 3 workshop papers without any other authors of these papers registered has to pay the "Conference and Workshops" registration fee plus 3*200 USD for the remaining 1 conference paper and 2 workshop papers.
