The IEEE Author Kit for IEEE TrustCom 2020 and associated Symposia/Workshops (Author Paper Submission Site：https://ieeecps.org/#!/auth/login?ak=1&pid=4sgfK5r538MStgrShyle8b) for submitting Camera-Ready Paper and Copyright Form is now available!

Please enter Conference ID 50675X for Paper Validation using IEEE PDF eXpress.

HIGHTLIGHT 1:
Although the IEEE Author Kit shows that the Paper Submission Deadline is 25 November 2020 and that the Copyrights Due is 25 November 2020, please still keep our FIRM DEADLINE (November 10, 2020) for submitting Camera-Ready Paper and Copyright Form! The additional days (November 11-25) will be used for very special requests for example something really wrong in the final papers or copright forms found during the conference proceedings editing stage.

HIGHLIGHT 2:
IEEE policy requires that all accepted papers must be checked for plagiarism. This can be accomplished through the IEEE CrossCheck Portal if copyright is owned by IEEE. The IEEE Author Kit is linked with CrossCheck. Once an author submits a file, it is automatically checked. Please make sure that your paper is free of plagiarism. If your paper will be detected as plagiarism, you will be informed and your paper will be rejected for publication. Notice that all requests for refunds of author registration fees must be received before November 9, 2020. No refunds will be allowed after this date. There will be a USD$100 or RMB¥700 service charge for all refunds.

HIGHLIGHT 3:
The corresponding author of a paper should first create an account with his/her email address at https://ieeecps.org/. Then, This account will be used to submit camera-ready paper and copyright form. Although you may indicate more than one corresponding author for a paper, the author serving as the submitter of the camera-ready paper and copyright form will be treated as the corresponding author of the paper during the conference proceedings editing stage. Furthermore, if you want to change authors and/or title (a little bit) in your camera-ready paper, please make sure to contact us by sending an email at "GuangzhouConf2020@gmail.com". Thanks for your co-operation!

About Page Size & Paper ID & Final Paper Validation:

(1) Page Size:

Please make sure to set your final paper with page size of 612.0 x 792.0 points (8.5" x 11"), 2-column.

(2) Paper ID:

Please use "Conference Acronym/WiP/Special Session Acronym/Symposium/Workshop Acronym+Paper ID in EasyChair" as your Paper ID. For example, if your paper was accepted as a regular paper in the IEEE TrustCom 2020 conference, and if your paper ID in EasyChair is "168", then your paper ID will be like "TrustCom+168". For another example, if your paper was accepted in the "BlockchainSys 2020" symposium/workshop, which is associated with the IEEE TrustCom 2020 conference, and if your Paper ID in EasyChair is "168", then your Paper ID will be like this: "BlockchainSys+168" or "TrustCom/BlockchainSys+168".

(3) Final Paper Validation:

Since the IEEE PDF eXpress tool is not available at this time for authors to validate final papers by authors themselves, please make sure to strictly obey the formatting requirements as indicated in the IEEE Author Kit to prepare your final papers and submit them through the IEEE Author Kit . If the IEEE Conference Publication Services (CPS) staff found that your paper does not obey the formatting requirements, they will contact the corresponding author of the paper. Please make sure that the corresponding author will check emails frequently, including junk mailboxes. Thanks for your cooperation:

Paper Validation
I would like to create my own PDF file to submit.

If you would like to create your own PDF file, please change the setting on your PDF distiller to insure your paper meets IEEE PDF specifications. Basic PDF distiller settings are as follows:

1) Optimized
2) Acrobat 5.0 compatibility
3) All graphics at least 300 dpi resolution (higher if preferred)
4) All fonts must be embedded and subset
5) Postscript settings do not override distiller settings
6) Page size is 612.0 x 792.0 points (8.5" x 11"), 2-column

Important 1: Authors must check their final PDF files before submission to verify that all fonts have been properly embedded and subset. Some font manufacturers now flag their fonts to not embed. These fonts must be avoided.

Important 2: You can submit your final paper multiple times before the deadline (November 10, 2020, with any time zone). The IEEE CPS staff will use the most newest submission.
