Instructions for authors:
-------------------------
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to the aforementioned topics of interest.
All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in standard IEEE 2-column format. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. All submissions must be made electronically through EDAS at https://edas.info/N29242.

We will consider two different categories of papers:
Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to ten (10) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding ten (10) pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all.
Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and they will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference.
For more information, please see: https://www.medcomnet.org/authors-instructions/
 
No-show policy
--------------
Submission to the conference implies willingness to present. No-shows will be excluded from the proceedings. No-show papers are defined as papers submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person at the technical meeting. Presentations by proxies are not allowed. No refund of the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show author. Exceptions to this policy can only be made by the Technical Program Chairs and only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.
 
Presentations in case of travel restrictions
--------------
The organizing committee will consider the possibility of remote presentations for authors coming from countries with travel restrictions in place due to the COVID pandemic.
