Please visit the following URL to learn more about securing copyright transfer, and to register your interest in using the electronic IEEE Copyright Form for your conference.

In order to avoid the loss of copyright by IEEE for your publication, the following copyright must appear either on the copyright page for print proceedings or on the first page viewed when the CD-ROM, DVD or USB drive is accessed.

The appropriate copyright clearance code notice is to appear on the bottom of the first page of each paper according to the guidelines set forth in the Cataloging/Copyright Instructions for an IEEE Conference Proceeding. Detailed instructions can be found at:  https://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/index.html.
