A: The DMS registration form is online. Please go to DMS website and click on the DMS conference registration link on the left-hand side. To register, do the following:
Step 1. Go to registration page to fill out registration
form. If you have already filled out the
registration form, you can enter your registration
ID (a number) and last name to recall the form.
However this option sometimes does not work. You
can always re-enter the form. When we detect
duplicate registration forms we will remove the
earlier one(s) for you.
Step 2. Fill out the form. Please be comprehensive.
Step 3. Select "I will pay by credit card" to pay by credit card.
Step 4. When you see the system-generated feedback form,
please enter your paper ID number.
choose the appropriate conference registration
fee and click "Pay now".
Step 5. If you have a PayPal account, you can log in
paypal account to pay. If you don't have
a PayPal account, you can pay with either
debit or credit card. The conference will pay the
service fee so you will not be charged any service fee.
Step 6. If your institution requires the registration
fee to be paid by the institution, choose
the "wired transfer" option. Before you click
on "submit" to submit the registration form, make
sure the official institutional address is included
in the form. You can enter your institution's
office address in the field for business name and address.
You will find the bank's information in the
returned web page after you submit the form.
When we see you are paying by wired transfer,
we will send you an official invoice.
Step 7. It usually takes one month or longer for an
institute to process a wired transfer. Since
we must send the proceedings to the printer
by May 20, 2023, if no payment is received your
paper may be removed from the technical program
and the proceedings. To avoid this, you can
enter the registration form again and pay by your
personal credit card. If and when the
institutional payment is received, we will fully
refund your credit card payment and remove the
duplicate registration.
Step 8. Once your registration payment has been processed and
received, we will send you a receipt. If you want your
institution's name to be included in the receipt, please
enter the information in the field for business name and address
in the registration form. Similarly, if you want your
paper's full title to be included in the receipt, please
enter the paper's full title in the field of the same
name in the registration form. In other words you need
to make sure whatever information you want to include in the
receipt (or invoice) by entering them in the registration form.

Q: Is there a process for accepting abstracts prior to paper submission?
A: No.
Q: The reviews on my paper are quite good. Can I submit my paper to IJSEKE, the International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, or JVLC, Journal of Visual Languages and Computing, or JDET, International Journal of Distance Education Technologies?
A: First of all, a journal paper is usually the end result of a long investigation. If it is experimental, extensive empirical results should be included. If it is theoretical, extensive theoretical results such as formal definitions, theorems and proofs should be included. Merely describing an approach with some initial results may be adequate for a conference paper, but certainly not sufficient for a journal paper.
The reason a paper is accepted as a short paper, rather than a regular paper, is because the reviewers consider it to be preliminary work that requires further improvement. Therefore a short paper is definitely not ready for submission to a journal. A regular paper, after appropriate improvment and expansion, may be ready for submission to a journal. Although it is hard to quantify the amount of improvement, a useful rule of thumb is that the expanded version should contain at least 40% of new materials and new results. For example, your regular paper is six pages long in double column format. You expand it to ten pages. Of the ten pages, four pages (40%) are new materials and new results. Thus your paper meets the above criterion. Moreover, a ten page paper in double column format will become a twenty page paper in single column format. This is a reasonable size for a journal paper. BTW, all papers submitted to a journal should be formatted according to format acceptable to that journal. The formatting information can be found at the journal's website.
