INSTRUCTIONS FOR TECHNICAL SYMPOSIUMS ONLY
FINAL PAPER UPLOAD (ACCEPTED PAPERS)

Important Information

After you have registered and paid in full for the conference, please follow the instructions below to prepare your final paper and upload it. As a reminder, one (1) registration can be used to upload up to three (3) final papers on which you are an author.


PLEASE NOTE: A REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION CODE CAN BE ASSOCIATED ONLY TO PAPER(S) IN WHICH THE REGISTRANT IS AN AUTHOR OR CO-AUTHOR. VIOLATION OF THIS RULE, SUCH AS ASSOCIATING A REGISTRATION CODE WITH A PAPER NOT AUTHORED BY THE REGISTRANT, IS CONSIDERED A SERIOUS OFFENSE.


The Conference Proceedings will be included in IEEE Xplore Publications. All authors who have been accepted must register for the conference and attend the conference to present their papers. Authors who do not attend the conference to present their papers, or arrange for a co-author or knowledgeable colleague to present their paper in the absence of the primary author, will not have their paper published in IEEE Xplore, per IEEE policy, with the following exception: Those authors that will not be allowed to travel to the conference due to visa issues or strict national rules will be given the opportunity to present their accepted work through a video presentation.


IEEE reserves the right to exclude a submission from distribution after the conference, including exclusion from IEEE Xplore if the submission does not meet IEEE standards for scope and/or quality. Articles excluded from further distribution shall be archived by IEEE but shall not be indexed or appear on IEEE Xplore.


Accepted Papers
  1. Register for conference – Register Now!
    You MUST register before uploading your final paper. Papers will be included in the proceedings only if at least one author has registered and paid the registration fee.

    One author registration will cover the publication expenses of three (3) accepted papers. Authors presenting more than 3 papers must pay an additional full registration for the 4th paper. In the case no registration has been received and correctly processed to cover the paper publication, the conference organizers will contact the authors before the paper is removed from the proceedings.

    NO PAPER WILL BE PUBLISHED WITHOUT THE AUTHOR’S COMPLETED REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT.
