Publication Policy

Conference papers will be indexed for IEEE Xplore only if all three of the following requirements are satisfied: submit all publication materials, pay full registration fee, and present the work at the conference. Authors who are unable to attend and present their work must pay attention to special instructions in either C2 or C3. A. Submit publication materials      The author must submit the final version of manuscript and IEEE Copyright Form before the final manuscript deadline. These are submitted through the paper submission system. B. Pay full registration fee      An author must pay a full registration fee before the early registration deadline. C. Present the work      Presentation is defined as one of the following:      1) By author: Ideally, the primary author will attend the conference and present their contribution. This is the classical way of participating in conferences, and authors gain the greatest professional benefits.      2) By colleague: If the primary author cannot attend, then a qualified colleague may present the paper. A qualified colleague is one who is familiar with the technical field, and is capable of discussing the issues. The primary author misses the technical interaction, but fulfills professional obligations. NOTE: A full regular registration fee must be paid.      3) Absent authors: If the author or qualified colleague cannot attend the conference, then the author must notify the Technical Program Co-Chairs beforehand. The absent author must also email a PowerPoint presentation with audio clips, no later than the deadline, to the Technical Program Co-Chairs. The conference program committee will review the presentation for quality. Acceptable presentations will be included in the conference media. If the presentation is considered unacceptable, then the paper will be considered as NOT PRESENTED. According to the above policy, AMC 2014 will publish and distribute a Conference Proceedings with copyrighted content at the conference. All final papers will be included in the IEEE content library, BUT "not presented'' papers will NOT be accessible from IEEE Xplore. "Not presented'' papers are copyrighted, however, and cannot be re-published without permission from IEEE.
