Important information
----------------------
Paper submission deadline: Feb. 16, 2022
Acceptance notification: April 04, 2022
Registration (authors and early birds): May 06, 2022
Camera Ready Papers due: May 06, 2022

Instructions for authors:
-------------------------
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that
demonstrate current research related to the aforementioned topics of
interest.
All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in
standard IEEE 2-column format. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for
the review process. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX
format can be found at
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.  All
submissions must be made electronically through EDAS at
https://edas.info/N29242.

We will consider two different categories of papers:
Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in
length to ten (10) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables,
and references. Papers exceeding ten (10) pages will not be accepted at
EDAS, nor reviewed at all.
Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in
progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel
perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and
new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including
figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter.
Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and they will be
given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference.
For more information, please see:

No-show policy
--------------
Submission to the conference implies willingness to present. No-shows will
be excluded from the proceedings. No-show papers are defined as papers
submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person
at the technical meeting (given the current situation, remote presentations
will be allowed). Presentations by proxies are not allowed. No refund of
the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show author. Exceptions to this
policy can only be made by the Technical Program Chairs and only if there
is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events
beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the
authors to present the paper was exhausted.
