Please, read carefully the following information concerning the registration procedure that is presented in the Author Instructions, especially if you are the prospective presenter of an accepted paper or if you need to guarantee inclusion of your accepted paper in the proceedings. An accepted paper will be published in the proceedings only if the full-fee registration payment for one of the authors is received and correctly processed by 20 September 2022 – no exceptions.

Only IEEE Member or Non-member fees are allowed to cover the publication of an accepted paper. To qualify for member rates, the membership number must be provided in the registration form. Student registration fees cannot be used to guarantee the publication of an accepted paper. If the only author registering to cover the paper publication is a student, he has to pay the appropriate Member or Non-member fee. Members to whom the society bylaws grant special discounts (e.g., Students, Life members of the IEEE) cannot use the discounted rates to cover the publication of an accepted paper, they have to pay the Member fee.

One author registration will cover the publication expenses of only ONE accepted paper. For each additional accepted paper associated to the same registration (up to 4 papers per registration), a $50.00 USD printing contribution will be charged. In the case no registration has been received and correctly processed to cover the paper publication, the conference organizers will contact the authors before the paper is removed from the proceedings.

COVID Strategy

We expect the conference to be in person.

Please check the government of Austria’s requirements for entry into Austria and be sure to plan and prepare accordingly for your in-person attendance at the conference. In addition, we recommend that attendees purchase travel insurance for their trip.

The COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable, so it is possible that the situation could change closer to the date of the conference. If government rules change and a registered author is affected by one of the following two legal restrictions, the author should immediately inform the conference organizers of the change:

– the government of the author’s country of residence strictly forbids travel to Austria; or
– the Austrian government strictly bans the author from entering due to COVID-19-related reasons. Please note that being COVID-19 unvaccinated does not fall under this restriction.

The organizers will then monitor the situation and, if the restriction is not remedied in time, will allow the author to switch to virtual presentation. Virtual presentation means that:

1. the author will upload a pre-recorded video that presents the paper (video and upload instructions will be provided), and
2. the author adds their email at the end of their presentation to allow attendees to submit questions via email. 

Not meeting the above two requirements results in the paper being flagged as a “no show” and removed from publishing in the conference proceedings on IEEE Xplore.

The ISSE 2022 Organizing Committee is committed to the safety and well-being of all conference participants. If you have any questions or concerns about the conference’s COVID-19-related policies, please email [email protected].
