VIRTUAL/REMOTE CONFERENCE
=========================
After evaluating the current COVID-19 situation and associated travel restrictions, the conference will be held virtually with remote presentation on 17-19 December 2020 as the safety and well-being of all conference participants are of the highest priority. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore Digital Library after they are presented at the virtual conference. The paper submission deadline has been extended to 12 September 2020 as we understand many are facing unexpected challenges at this time.

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE

All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference websites with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 10 pages with over length charge) including figures and references using IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, 10 fonts). 
Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings can be found at
