IEEE/IEEE Communications Society Policies
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.
To be published in the IEEE CNS 2020 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 (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Author registrations are non-refundable. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE CNS 2020 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore® as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
Revise Your Paper
Please read the reviews of your paper and follow the reviewers' recommendations for revising it and preparing the final version. When you are done with the revision, please print out your paper and carefully proofread it. Review formatting requirements can be found on the Submission Instructions page.
IEEE PDF eXpress
Use IEEE PDF eXpress to check if your paper is Xplore compatible.
PDF eXpress instructions: The PDF eXpress website can be found at http://www.pdf-express.org, and the conference ID for CNS 2020 is 48642x.
Register for the Conference
The presenting author must register for the conference before submitting the final paper. Note that even if the presenter is a student, he/she must pay a Full Registration. For multiple paper presentations, one author registration is valid for up to 3 main conference papers. The paper must be presented by an author of the paper unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event who is qualified both to present and answer questions. (See no-shows and substitute presenter policy below).
After completing your registration, you will receive an email with your paper upload number. Write this number down; you will need to use it to upload your paper into EDAS.

Your final paper must be submitted no later than 5:00pm US ET, Thursday, 30 April 2020 in order to be included in the conference proceedings. The maximum number of pages is nine (9).
