Program
The Conference System Went Online on Sunday, May 31, 2020.
The conference will unfold fully online. All technical papers are featured with 5 to 10 minutes presentation videos supplied by authors. Each paper has a linked slack #channel for interacting with the authors; just join the #channel and start a discussion.
All 1600 papers are presented as on-demand videos. Links to presentation videos and slack #channels will be available through our online hub (InfoVaya), as well as from our proceedings on Papercept. Beware, proceedings are still organized following the original in-person conference schedule - please ignore times and locations, every paper will remain available from 31 May to 31 August.
- Plenaries and keynotes are broadcast through IEEE.tv from June 1st to 15 between 1PM and 2PM UTC, including a live chat Q&A.
- The online conference also includes most of the planned workshops and tutorials, free-of-charge. Please get in touch with organizers to participate.
Please see here for login information and how you can make the most out of the virtual conference.
