Important IEEE Policy The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (including its removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the workshop. Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conferences/workshops/symposia at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Tainan Section will take action against any author who engages in either practice.

Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For an author with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for 1 paper. All accepted papers will be included in ICS 2020 Conference Proceeding, but only regular papers (full-rate registered and presented) will be submitted to IEEE Xplore®.
