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®.
