Registration Information for Authors of Technical Papers

Please see the Submission page for manuscript preparation and uploading information.

In order to upload your paper you must first register for the conference. After registering you will receive an email containing uploading instructions and a 13-character paper upload code, which you will enter into EDAS as part of uploading your paper. (Note: your 11-character conference confirmation code will NOT work for this purpose. You MUST use the 13-character upload code from the author instructions email.) Therefore authors must register by THURSDAY, AUGUST 15TH as this is the deadline for uploading your paper.

Note that student authors can apply for a Student Travel Grant through EDAS – see below.

PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IEEE SmartGridComm Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, at least one author of an accepted paper MUST register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and an author must present the paper at the conference. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE SmartGridComm Conference Proceedings and in IEEE Xplore®.



IEEE and IEEE Communications Society Policies

All IEEE SmartGridComm technical papers must be associated with an author registration in the R01, R02 or R03 category. For authors presenting multiple papers, one registration in any of the categories (R01, R02 or R03) is valid for up to three papers. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference for any reason including visa problems.



Student Travel Grants

We are very pleased to let you know that IEEE SmartGridComm 2013 provides Student Travel Grant (STG) funds in the range of $500-1000 to broaden the participation of student authors. This fund is sponsored by IEEE ComSoc for students worldwide to attend IEEE SmartGridComm 2013 in Vancouver, Canada. Starting July29th, IEEE SmartGridComm 2013 will accept applications for STG awards.

Eligibility:

  1. The applicant may be of any nationality and must be an author or co-author of an accepted paper;

  2. The applicant must be a full-time student registered toward a Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in computer science, engineering or related field in a college or university when submitting the application.

  3. The applicant must be a Student Member of the IEEE Communications Society when submitting the application

  4. The applicant must not have received an IEEE ComSoc STG in the last 12-month period when submitting the application, and must not have received any other grants for attending the conference

  5. During the expense reimbursement stage, the student must show proof of having registered to attend the conference.

A student who is awarded an STG must register, attend the conference, and present the paper.

Details about the reimbursement process will be provided to STG recipients.
