CALL FOR TUTORIALS

 

IEEE CIBCB 2020 will feature tutorials covering fundamental and advanced topics in computational intelligence and its application to problems within the scope of the conference. A tutorial proposal should include title, outline, enrollment, and presenter/organizer biography. Inquiries regarding tutorial proposals should be addressed to the Tutorial Chair, Wendy Ashlock, email:  washlock@ashlockandmcguinness.com

CALL FOR LATE-BREAKING ABSTRACTS

Two-page abstracts describing late-breaking developments within the scope of the conference are solicited for presentation at CIBCB 2020. Abstracts will be published only on the conference website.

Late-breaking abstracts will be briefly examined for relevance and minimum standards of acceptability, but will not be peer-reviewed in detail. Authors of accepted late-breaking abstracts will individually retain copyright (and all other rights) to their late-breaking abstracts. Accepted late-breaking abstracts with no author registered by the deadline will not appear on the conference website.

Late-breaking abstracts should be of the same format as full papers (see formatting details) and submitted using the same link as full papers until the 30th of July.

SUBMISSION

Submission is CLOSED

 

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of no more than eight (8) pages in IEEE conference format, including results, figures and references. Papers must be in PDF and written in English. Detailed instructions and templates for preparing your manuscripts can be found here.

At maximum, two additional pages are permitted with over-length page charge of US$10/page, to be paid during author registration.

Each paper will be peer-reviewed. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper at the conference.

All papers and late-breaking abstracts should be submitted via the EasyChair online submission system.

FINAL PAPER SUBMISSION

Final versions of all papers, following all requirements below, must be submitted by no later than 4th September 2020 in order to be included in the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore.

Before Creating your Final PDF:

• Ensure that you have addressed reviewers’ comments as specified in your acceptance email.
• Add the appropriate copyright notice to your source document:
  • For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, the copyright notice is: S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright
  • For papers in which all authors are employed by a Crown government (UK, Canada, and Australia), the copyright notice is: 978-1-7281-9468-4/20/$31.00 ©2020 Crown
  • For papers in which all authors are employed by the European Union, the copyright notice is: 978-1-7281-9468-4/20/$31.00 ©2020 European Union
  • For all other papers the copyright notice is: 978-1-7281-9468-4/20/$31.00 ©2020 IEEE
• The copyright notice should be placed in the footer on the first column of the first page of the document. Latex users can include \usepackage{fancyhdr} before \begin{document} in their source document, and then add the following immediately after \maketitle to add the appropriate copyright notice: 

%copyright notice

\thispagestyle{plain}

  \fancypagestyle{plain}{

  \fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields

  \fancyfoot[L]{978-1-7281-9468-4/20/\$31.00~\copyright2020~IEEE} % change copyright notice here if required

  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

  }

• Proofread your document thoroughly to ensure that it will require no further revisions.

Ensuring IEEE Xplore Compliance:

All accepted papers must be IEEE Xplore compliant. To ensure that your file is fully compliant with IEEE Xplore, you must validate your paper with IEEE PDF eXpress using conference ID 48159X.

All errors identified by PDF eXpress must be corrected prior to final submission to the conference. Once your paper is free of errors, you will receive a pdf file from PDF eXpress with a name in the following format: PIDxxxxxxx.pdf. This is the file that must be uploaded for your final submission.

Accessing PDF eXpress:

Log in to the PDF Express site, https://www.pdf-express.org/

First-time users should do the following:

1. Select the New Users – Click Here link.

2. Enter the following:

– 48159X for the Conference ID

– Your email address

– A password

3. Continue to enter information as prompted

An Online confirmation will be displayed and an email confirmation will be sent verifying your account setup.

Previous users should follow the above steps, but using the same password as used for previous conferences, and should also verify that the contact information is valid.

Uploading the Final Version of Your Manuscript:

Final papers must be submitted by 4th September, 2020. The paper must be re-submitted even if the reviewers indicated that no changes are required.

To submit the final version, log on to Easychair, view the original submission, and click on “update file” to submit the new version. The file to be submitted must be the one obtained from running IEEE PDF eXpress, as this contains the IEEE Xplore compliance information.

Copyright Form:

After uploading the final version of your accepted paper to Easychair, click on “Alerts” in the main menu. Click on “IEEE Copyright Transfer Agreement for paper <title of paper>”. If there is no such link under your Alerts menu tab, then one of the authors already signed the agreement on behalf of all authors.

You must complete and submit the IEEE Copyright Transfer form in order for your paper to be included in the conference proceedings.

Important Note:

An accepted paper will be published in the proceedings only if the final version is accompanied by a full (non-student) registration for at least one of the authors.
