FAQ virtual event

The virtual conference starts on Monday July 6th 2020. Three live sessions are scheduled:

1. Monday 6th at 9.00 am CEST (GMT+2)
2. Tuesday 7th at 1.00 pm CEST (GMT+2)
3. Wednesday 8th at 4.00 pm CEST (GMT+2)

On-demand sessions (access to documents, pre-recorded presentations, live chat, proceedings) will be in place from Monday July 06 till Monday July 27 inclusive.

The registration is set to 100€ net.

Event will run it as “semi-live”. It means that there will be two sorts of “deliverables”:

1. An area of the EuroSimE Web site will allow registered users to access virtual rooms, each containing the published technical paper, the presentation pre-recorded by its Author (MP4, PPT…), the biography of author, and a live-chat for asking questions to Authors and hopefully get answers…
2. An area for several live sessions, run as webinars, on some dedicated topics of interest for the community.

You will have to register to the event through the normal way (a form asking for your coordinates and payment). You will then receive an email with a personal password for you to login onto the virtual event and access all aspects of it. You will just have to use your Internet browser, no specific software will be needed.

The Short Courses initially planned may be postponed to EuroSimE 2021 in Malta.

Proceedings will be available for the 3 weeks of the virtual event, as individual PDF files, full PDF book and zip archive. You will be able to download them once logged in the virtual event.

For you Authors, you must respect these dates:

1. deliver your final “manuscript” and your “presentation” by June 14th latest
2. register to the event by June 14th latest. We absolutely need you to register in advance to guarantee the consistency of the virtual programme (if you do not register, your paper and any reference to it will be removed; we cannot publish it for free, as not only would it be unfair in respect to other authors, but we also pay a “technical fee” to IEEE for having the papers in Xplore)

For being published, you must prepare a final PDF “manuscript”, whatever the conference is normal or virtual. We encourage you to produce too a presentation, which can be a normal PowerPoint exported to MP4, or a true MP4 audio and/or video presentation where you roll your slides with an audio-video comment. In case of an audio or video presentation, you must of course record it yourself, and release an MP4 file. As an author, you should have received on May 12 a document explaining how the virtual space will look like, and how to post your data to be used in this space; in case you did not, just email the organiser.

As usually: through the EuroSimE Author Portal. We suggest you use the template we prepared, download it from the Author Portal (Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, LaTeX). Once your manuscript is achieved, convert it to PDF and post it on the Author Portal. For the presentation, same path, the system accepts PPTs, PDFs and MP4s.

The fact that the event is virtually conducted does not affect the publication of your work by IEEE. All papers which were initially accepted by the Technical Committee are submitted to IEEE for inclusion in Xplore Digital Library. Unless a paper is a proven case of plagiarism, it will normally be accepted and published by IEEE.

The concept of poster does not apply there: in case your paper was accepted for poster presentation at EuroSimE, you anyway have to finalise your manuscript for publication. Instead of a poster, now meaningless, we encourage you to produce a full presentation, PPT or MP4.

It may be reviewed by volunteer reviewers. In case you changed its title, please inform us, so that we can ensure consistency between table of contents and other links and actual papers.

For this year, we forget about best paper best poster awards because no one can really attend and talk…

In November 2019, reviewers had tagged the abstracts they judged worth being published in a microelectronics journal. The fact that the conference is virtual should not impact the qualification of papers for potential reprints.

Yes you may submit a new abstract on the Author Portal until May 17th

We will manage so that your document is reviewed by two reviewers as soon as possible after your submission, and in any case by June 1st latest.

A significant visibility by the community of scientists from academy and industry. The possibility to be in a dedicated live session. And the eternal thanks of the organisers…

It is up to you. Our traditional sponsors offer from 1000 to 6000€. But of course, for a virtual event, smaller amounts also make sense.

Just contact the event chairman or organiser.
