JavaOne Shanghai 2013 Call for Papers

An Oracle.com user account is required to submit a paper. If you do not have an account already, you will be prompted to create one before submitting. Once you create your account, you'll be taken to the login page for the Call for Papers portal. If at any time you forget your username and password, simply select the "Retrieve/Forgot Password or Username" option.

Notes

• Every time you log into the Call for Papers portal, you will see all papers you have submitted during the 2013 Call for Papers time frame.
• While the Call for Papers is open, you may go back and edit your previously submitted sessions.
• At any point while submitting a session, you may stop and save your submission to complete at a later time. If you stop and save before your submission is complete (before all mandatory fields are answered), your submission will be given a status of "Partial." You can go back and edit this session while the Call for Papers is open. Note that any sessions still in “Partial” status at the time the Call for Papers closes will NOT be considered.
• Don't forget to save after each new submission or submission update.
• Take note of your confirmation number after each submission. If you have any questions or concerns, you will want to include that confirmation number.
• No late submissions will be accepted.
