The Camera-ready paper is due on August 27, 2020.

Note that the RSP’2020 proceedings will be published and distributed through IEEE Xplore digital library.

 

Camera-ready paper preparation:

Please make sure to consider the following guidelines in preparing the final camera-ready version of your paper:

  • All papers are allocated a maximum of 7 pages
  • Addressing the comments of the reviewers
  • Please make sure you follow the template's conference mode provided by IEEE eXpress Conference Publishing: MS Word and LaTeX templates (please make sure NOT to add page numbers)
  • Add the copyright notice to the bottom of the first page of your source document before creating a PDF. The appropriate copyright clearance code notice has to be added as follows:
    • For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, the copyright notice is: U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright
    • For papers in which all authors are employed by a Crown government (UK, Canada, and Australia), the copyright notice is: 978-1-7281-8466-1/20/$31.00 ©2020 Crown
    • For papers in which all authors are employed by the European Union, the copyright notice is: 978-1-7281-8466-1/20/$31.00 ©2020 European Union
    • For all other papers the copyright notice is: 978-1-7281-8466-1/20/$31.00 ©2020 IEEE

    The addition of the copyright notice to your paper can be done as follows:

  • MS Word users can use: "Insert" ⇒ "Text box", insert the appropriate copyright notice in the text box, and place it (without borders) at the bottom of the left column on the first page.
  • LaTeX users can add the following lines just before starting the document "\begin{document}":
    • Example for papers in which all authors are employed by the US government: \IEEEoverridecommandlockouts \IEEEpubid{\makebox[\columnwidth]{U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright\hfill}\hspace{\columnsep}\makebox[\columnwidth]{}}
