2. Student Session
Extended abstract submission instructions
The student papers should be in form of extended abstracts, no longer than 2 pages in double-column format, including tables, figures and references. The IEEE double-column format should be also used for the student submissions. The student papers should be submitted via EDAS.
The submission consists of three phases. The first phase of submission is to register basic information for the paper of the EDAS form, including the title of paper. Keywords are optional. In the second phase of submission, the submitting author must add all the remaining authors in the order of appearance in the extended abstract itself. The third phase of submission is uploading the PDF version, and click the “submit” button.
