Dear IT Society Members,

On Friday afternoon, the EDAS website for ISIT 2017 submissions ran
into a serious hardware and software failure that resulted in the deletion
of over 350 submitted papers.

To remedy the situation, we have decided to open up the ISIT 2017 web site
for one more week (deadline Sunday February 5th, 23:59 EST) to ensure
that all authors can upload their newest papers, and not only those whose
papers were deleted. 

We would also like to ask the ITSoc community for their support in the review
process, as we have lost about 2 weeks of an already short review period.
Please help us to ensure that the papers are reviewed well and in a timely
fashion.

We apologize for the trouble, this event came as a surprise to all of us.

Best Regards,
The ISIT 2017 Organizing Team
