Invited and Contributed Speakers who are submitting a paper for inclusion in IEEE Xplore will be provided with the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (eCF) during the paper submission process. Invited Speakers who are submitting a virtual presentation only will be provided with the IEEE Consent and Release Form.
These forms allow IEEE the right to use, distribute, publish, exhibit, digitize, broadcast, reproduce, and archive, in any format or medium, whether now known or hereafter developed any materials, including written, audio and visual works. One of these forms is required by each speaker in order to present at the virtual conference.
Technical papers received outside the electronic submission site will not be accepted. Revisions will only be accepted up until the paper submission deadline.
Electronic Submission
Authors are asked to provide vital pieces of information, including, but not limited to the paper title, presentation type, and a 45-word abstract, as well as all authors’ contact information. This information must be completed in its entirety; failure to do so may inhibit your ability to successfully complete your submission.

Publication chance based on affiliation
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
Research.com
During the most recent 2016 edition, 1.71% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.74% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 5.22% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.70% of all publications and 44.35% were from other institutions.
Returning Authors Index
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
