Policy for Author or Title Changes

In order to ensure an appropriate consideration of conflicts of interest in the review process, IEEE IPCCC prohibits any change to the list of authors and/or the title of a paper when the paper is under review or if accepted for final publication. The author list or the title of a paper may be changed only prior to the submission deadline.

No Show Policy

For All (Regular/Short/Poster) Paper Authors:

Authors are required to present their paper virtually at the conference in order for a paper to appear in the conference proceedings. Registration receipts and proceedings will be available only for papers that are presented. Your paper will be excluded from being published and included in the IEEE Xplore and the CSDL should your paper fail to be presented virtually at the conference. Any exceptions to this policy can only be made by the General and Program Chairs. IEEE always reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore® Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.

Please refer to the IEEE No Show Policy (Non-Presented Paper policy) in this page: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/organizers/handling_nonpresented_papers.html
