1. CP are not serials but books. So it should be ISBN. You cannot ask for ISBN first as it contains country and and ID of the publisher (not your conference's).  So, the first step is to approach and negotiate with publishing houses. [[BY the way, ISSN is easy to get through a Paris based online registration. But, they do not give you a number first on a "promise"; you have to actually show a few samples of already existing issues. Everything from then on are smoother]]

2. Indexing CP:  There are a lot of factors on how to do :  (A) Do you want to publish all full papers or only selected ones? (B) Are you going to publish with an Academic publishing house such as Springer or you will make use of your own association's printing press?  (C) Are you for printed book or CD-ROM? 

3. Any other suggestions.   Springer won't publish all papers but few selected ones with double peer review. If you are a conference organizer, then, you would need to form a "CP team" because it requires some works. It is like editing a book.  Springer will not spoon-feed you.

Hi,

There are a few alternatives:

• Springer Publications for Conference Proceedings (www.springer.com)
• Journal Publications (http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=COR)
• KnowledgeE Proceedings is a new service by Knowledge E which assists institutions and conference organizers with the publication of presented papers at their International Conferences, Seminars, Congresses and Scientific Events as well as submission to major indexing services. (http://www.knowledgee.com)

Dear Milia,

Kindly check

@ Dibakar  Perhaps you could read other posts first?

Hey Matt:  I think you need to publish a book with an ISBN..  

The other option is publish in a Journal that already exists.

Consider Maskana eg. ;)
