IEEE ICWS 2006 provides the following three ways for registration.

1. Online Registration (Strongly Recommended)

A PayPal-powered ICWS 2006 online registration system is available at ICWS 2006 Online Registration System . The guidelines to use the system is provided.

As an eBay Company, PayPal provides the most popular online payment system. PayPal allows individual customer to send money or collect money online without any transaction fee.

An ICWS 2006 participant who is new to PayPal is not required to create a PayPal account to complete the registration. You can go through an alternate checkout, and have the option to sign up afterwards. Please SELECT "No shipping required (online download, payment for a service, etc.)" when you provide your billing information on the shipping page.

An ICWS 2006 participant who already has PayPal accounts can continue to enjoy the privileges of the accounts, such as payment history and integration with eBay Auctions, with the same checkout experience. You can get a FREE PayPal account at any time.
