Authors

PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS

We will provide more information about the duration of the presentations for the online talks and questions in the coming weeks. Please properly set in EDAS the name of the author who will present the work. The presenter is kindly asked to send to the Session Chair a short bio for introduction.

Authors are responsible for timely uploading of the presentation before the conference. We will provide links for this upload and additional instructions shortly.

IMPORTANT: To be published in the IEEE CCNC 2021 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the online conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions.

IEEE AND IEEE COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY POLICIES

Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Communications Society will take action against any author who engages in either practice. Follow these links to learn more:

IEEE Policy on Plagiarism
IEEE Policy on Double Submission

IMPORTANT: To be published in the IEEE CCNC 2021 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the FULL or LIMITED (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented online by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter in advance of the event and who is qualified to both present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one FULL or LIMITED registration is valid for up to 3 papers.

The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (including its removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

During the initial paper submission process via EDAS, it is the authors' responsibility to ensure that the author list and the paper title of the submitted pdf file is an exact match to the author list and paper title on the EDAS registration page. In particular, the EDAS registration page must include all co-authors, not just the submitting author. Failure to comply with this rule might result in your paper being withdrawn from the review process. Please be aware that the author list of an accepted paper CANNOT be changed in the final manuscript.

To ensure appropriate consideration of conflicts of interest during the review process, ComSoc prohibits changes to the list of authors once a paper has been submitted for review during review, revision, or (if accepted) final publication. The author list may be changed only prior to the submission deadline.
