name1, name2* (in this case, name2 is the corresponding author).
- Modify your paper according the reviewers comments and
generate the Camera-Ready version of your paper using one of these NEW
templates (use A4 paper size templates, no page
numbers, no headers).
- Add the copyright notice (MANDATORY) in the footer of
the first page of your paper. In the rest of the pages, the footer will be blank. Select one of these
according to your case:
- For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, the copyright notice is:

- For all other papers the copyright notice is:
- 978-1-7281-1374-6/19/$31.00 ©2019 IEEE
- Generate a PDF version of your Camera-Ready paper from step 1
and validate it using the PDF eXpress tool. (You can also use PDF
eXpress tool to generate the PDF version). Please go to the IEEE

not required).

from IEEE pdf eXpress, by following the next steps.
- If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your
editor or the IEEE PDF help desk at Publications

Important note: PDF eXpress is not a file
submission system and does not capture files. An author's file
simply passes through the system returning a PDF file or an error report.
After using PDF eXpress you will still need to submit the IEEE
Xplore-compatible PDF file of your final paper later in this publication
submission process (see Step 5).
ATTENTION: Papers not using the right template or
that do not pass the IEEE PDF eXpress checklist will be excluded from the conference and the
proceedings.
STEP 3: Renaming your PDF File for Submission
Once your paper has been converted into an IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF
file, you will need to rename your file for final submission as follows:
Paper with EDAS number:
Paper name: 1234567890_surname.pdf
where 1234567890 is your EDAS paper number (contained in the
acknowledgement message to your submission) and surname is the author
last name.
Example: If author John Brown has EDAS paper number 1234567890
accepted, the names of the files should be:
Paper: 1234567890_brown.pdf
STEP 4: Submitting a Signed Copyright Release Form
Copyright Form: Every CITS 2019 paper
accepted for presentation and publication MUST have attached to it
an IEEE Copyright transfer form. You are required to submit the
IEEE Copyright transfer form by July 10 , 2019.
Failure to submit the IEEE Copyright transfer form by the deadline will
result in an automatic withdrawal of your paper for presentation and
publication.
- Go to the
on-line submission system EDAS and log-in using
your EDAS account (this should be the same account you have used to
submit the initial and final papers). Your username will be your email. If
you cannot remember your password then ask EDAS to email it to you by
following the link EDAS PASSWORD RESET.
- Click on
the "My Papers" menu item at the top of the page. This
will produce a list of all your papers on the EDAS system.
- Click on
the title of the paper that you want to submit the copyright form for.
This will take you to the individual paper page that contains all details
of the paper.
- Click on the
icon within the "Copyright
form" field. You will be redirected to the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form website. Please provide
carefully the answers that best apply to you. Once the copyright form has been successfully recorded, you will
receive a confirmation email.
- Note: If one of the author is authorized to sign the copyright on behalf of all the authors,
the copyright form shall be submitted by that author. Otherwise, answer “Yes” when asked
“Should another Author or Corporate Officer complete the electronic Copyright Form?” and ensure the
other authors complete this process.

on the PDF file. Paper information (title, abstract, keywords) that
will appear in conference publications (e.g. book of abstracts,
proceedings, CD-ROM, etc.) will be taken from the EDAS system and not
from the submitted PDF file. If you need to modify paper information
then click on the "Edit" icon next to the "Title" / "Abstract" / "Keywords"

Manuscript" icon
within the "Final Manuscript" field. This will take you to

internet connection speed, the file upload may take a few minutes. If
the file is uploaded successfully then a confirmation message will be
displayed. You will also receive an e-mail confirmation with the details
of your submission. If you do not see the confirmation page after
uploading your file, you may not have successfully completed your file
upload. If you encounter trouble, please contact the Publication Chair..
Final
Paper Inspection
Similar to the proposal submission, your
final document will be checked to ensure that it meets all formatting
and compatibility requirements to be included in a visually pleasing and
IEEE Xplore-compliant proceedings. If we encounter errors in the
appearance or compatibility of your document file, you will be contacted
by email.
Please make sure that the final version of your accepted paper is very similar to the
original submitted accepted version with at least 80% similarity index. This will be checked by EDAS
system. The conference will withdraw any paper that does not meet this requirement. Please contact Publication
Chair if you have any related question: (danicas@us.es).
In order to prevent against plagiarism, all accepted paper will be inspected
with IEEE CrossCheck in order to find similarities with others papers already published. Please, guarantee the
originality of your work and keep the similarity index below 30%. On the contrary, you will be contacted by email
for correcting your paper. All papers with higher similarity index will be retired from the conference.
