Non-Presented Paper (No-Show) Policy: Any accepted paper included in the final program is expected to have at least one author attend and present the paper at the conference. If a paper is not presented at the conference, the paper will not be published  by IEEE on IEEE Xplore® or other public access forums. For poster sessions, if the speaker is not present in front of the poster for most of the time during the poster session, this also implies the paper was not presented. Conference organizers are required to collect attendance records and a list of any non-presented papers and submit to IEEE staff.

Exceptions to this policy will be made by the Technical Program Chair(s) of the conference only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.

Authors who anticipate inability to travel to a conference can submit for the virtual sessions and still present their paper virtually.

Ethics Policy: The submissions must follow the IEEE guidelines of ethics and must avoid plagiarism. Information on this policies can be found in the links below:
