Session types

Regular Sessions

Submitted papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will be assigned to relevant regular sessions, which are categorized by several topics.   Session Chair will be assigned by TPC (Technical Program Committee).

Accepted with a normal review process and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing databases.

Special Sessions

In case, a person will have much interest in coordinating the session in some topics. He/she can propose the Special Sessions to TPC as a Coordinator. Coordinator should ask people (colleagues) to submit papers in order to organize a session on special topics, and chairs his/her special session.
In the Special Sessions, submitted papers are not necessarily reviewed. The papers will be included in the WPMC20201 Proceedings.
If the author requires the publication in IEEE Xplore, the submitted paper must be reviewed by normal procedures.

All presenters including Coordinators should pay the full registration fee. Other requirements are the same to Regular Sessions.
