I forgot how to access the submission system: how to retrieve it?

IECON 2016 is using a submission/review system for regular papers (file names with code:
It's access is located at the following URL:
Te Lo mando a Parte.
and a conference management system for Special Sessions, Tutorials, Student Forum and later for final submission of ALL accepted papers. It's URL is:http://cms.iecon2016.org .

Special Session Organizers

Special Session Management

All the organizers have full control of the manuscripts submitted to their special session.

• Login to cms.iecon2016.org with your email and password
• Click on this hexagon 

• Click on the title of an article in the list
• Choose one of the option in the Chair Options

 

If you choose the first one a list of possible reviewers will appear (you can invite one or more reviewer clicking on the button );

if you choose the second one a list of all the invited reviewer will appear,

the third one, instead, allows an organizer to invite a reviewer by email. 

 

Why I can see only x papers in the Special Session Area? I think there are more than x

According an IEEE policy to prevent "Conflict of Interest" a special session organizer can not see and manage the papers of the other special session organizers in the same special session.

In these particular case a user with more privileges (special session chair/publication chair) has the task to manage these papers.

Submission

After completion of the whole details including file upload, we pressed the submit button. But it is not working? Can you let us know the problem?

To submit a new paper you need to fill all the field in the submission form. In particular:

• you need to update a valid curriculum (on the top of the submission form there is a yellow box with the link)

Once the compilation is completed you can press the Submit button and you will receive two kind of messages:

• A red screen with the error (this screen is visible for 10 seconds)
• A green screen with the text "Properly Submitted"

In the first case the submission has not occurred. Instead, in the second case, the submission has occurred and you will receive a confirmation email and a notification from the system.

After submitting my special session paper, I do not receive a confirmation email, but the list of your submission says my paper is under review. Can you let us know the problem?

This is really strange because the system is configured to send an email to the mail address of each author. After that, the system sends an email to all the special session organizers" about the presentation, so that they can put the article in the review process. 

So if you do not receive an email please check your spam folder in the registration email.

If you have a spam-filter, please add to the exception list  the mail address: submit@iecon2016.org

 

It is important to underline that an article can have three different states:

When I submit special session paper, the PDF checking response also said that my paper has no valid margins. What that mean?

The system check all the PDF according the IEEE specifications. So, when you receive the warning "no valid margins" means that the text on your PDF go out from the region of acceptance. 

When I submit the special session paper, when I click the submit button, the system always ask me to add a CV as least 100 words. But I have submit a CV more than 100 words. Why?

Because the system does a check of the Curriculum Vitae (CV) of all the authors. So when you submit an article you have to check that the curriculum vitae of all the authors is at least 100 words.
