Instructions to prepare Camera Ready paper and eCF

Step 1:

Log in to https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SEFET2022 to view the reviewer comments, if any, and address all the concerns/comments of the reviewers in the final submission. If there are no comments then it seems that your paper is accepted by reviewers as it is without need for any revisions.

The authors will have to submit a camera-ready version as per the guidelines given on the conference website on or before 22nd July 2022. Please make sure about the plagiarism of your manuscript (below 30% similarity), using standard plagiarism checking software (e.g Turnitin), before submitting the camera-ready paper from your end to confirm the inclusion of the paper in IEEE Xplore. If Plagiarism will be more than 30%, then your paper will not be included in the conference.

The authors are urged to ensure that the camera-ready submission strictly follows the IEEE Template given on the conference website https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

The number of pages in Final Camera-Ready Paper must be within Six Pages. The camera-ready papers that do not meet these requirements will not be submitted for further consideration to IEEE Xplore.

Step 2:

At least one author must register with Full Author Registration and present the selected paper at SeFeT 2022, in order for the paper to be considered for inclusion on IEEE Xplore () and subsequently eligible to be considered for possible consideration for further review to IEEE Transaction on Industry Applications. Each registration is meant for ONE (01) participant to attend the conference only (Certificate will be given to him/her only). Co-author(s) who are also attending the conference, and require certificate, will need to register separately under appropriate registration category.
