Presenting a Paper

Presentation of papers can be done as follows:
A. By author: Ideally, the primary author or one of the co-authors will attend the conference and present their contribution. This is the classical way of participating in conferences, and authors gain the greatest professional benefits.
B. By colleague: If the primary author or any of the co-authors cannot attend, then a qualified colleague may present the paper. A qualified colleague is one who is familiar with the technical field, and is capable of discussing the issues. The primary author or co-authors would miss the technical interaction, but fulfill professional obligations. NOTE: A full regular registration must be paid even if the qualified colleague is an author of another (different) paper in the conference.

Papers that do not meet one of these requirements (A or B) will be noted as No‑show after the conference and will not be sent to IEEE Xplore® Digital Library. No registration refund will be given in any case.

In case of some unexpected situation occurs, such as visa applications problems, authors may contact IECON2019 Chairs (sending an email to ) in order to consider alternative way to present the work.

According to the above policy, IECON 2019 will publish and distribute at the conference a Conference Proceedings with copyrighted content. All final papers will be included in the IEEE content library, BUT No‑show papers will NOT be accessible from IEEE Xplore® DigitalLibrary. The No‑show papers are copyrighted, and cannot be re-published without permission from the IEEE.
