Final Paper Submission

Guidelines for Final Paper/Abstract Submission

FINAL PAPER SUBMISSION TO CNS 2017

Final versions of accepted papers must be uploaded to EDAS for inclusion in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®.  
 

IEEE and IEEE Communications Society Policies

To ensure appropriate consideration of conflicts of interest during the review process, the ComSoc prohibits changes to the list of authors once a paper has been submitted for review during the review, revision, or (if accepted) final publication. The author list may be changed only prior to the submission deadline for review.
 
To be published in the IEEE CNS 2017 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted technical paper is required to register for the conference at the full or limited (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and 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 2017 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore® as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.

For Workshop Papers one author must be registered for the workshops.  Poster Abstracts Authors must be registered for the main conference at the level appropriate for their membership status.  See the registration page for complete information.  http://cns2017.ieee-cns.org/registration

Registration Transfer Policy: All requests for registration transfers must be submitted to CNSreg@ieee.org and received by September 30, 2017. After September 30, there will be a US$100 transfer fee imposed and possible additional fees depending upon the new registrant's membership status for each request.
 

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 here.
