Non-Presented Paper (No-Show) Policy

Any accepted paper included in the final program is expected to have at least one author or qualified proxy attend and present the paper at the conference.

• Failure to present (including absence during most of a poster session) will result in the paper not being published on IEEE Xplore® or other public access forums.
• The paper will still be distributed to attendees as part of the conference proceedings, and copyright will belong to IEEE.
• Conference organizers will collect attendance records and report no-shows to IEEE Computer Society staff. Exceptions are granted only by the Technical Program Chairs upon evidence of unanticipated events beyond the authors’ control. Appeals may be directed to the VP-Conferences of the IEEE Computer Society.

Qualified Proxy Policy

Presentation by substitutes is highly discouraged and permitted only with prior written approval from the Technical Program Chairs, supported by solid evidence that no author can attend. Papers presented by unapproved proxies will be treated as no-shows.

Preprints Policy

Authors may post preprints on:

• Author’s personal website
• Author’s employer’s website
• arXiv.org
• TechRxiv.org
• Funder’s repository

This does not count as prior publication.
