CAMERA READY
Please note that a very strict application of final manuscript formatting will be adhered to. Any manuscript that does not meet the requirements will be rejected and not included in the proceedings. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us having good manuscripts and proceedings.
Please note that your camera-ready pdf file must be IEEE Xplore compliant. Otherwise, your file may not be correctly incorporated and will have errors. It is your responsibility as author to submit an IEEE Xplore compliant pdf file. Please refer to the IEEE Xplore resources available to conferences and authors to make sure your paper is compliant when you create its pdf file. The following links have more information and other links on IEEE Xplore compliant pdf files. We are providing these links to assist with this task. The authors can choose the parts they deem applicable.

PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
Please refer to some useful information about preparing your presentation for the conference at this link.
POLICIES HPCS 2016 ABIDES BY:
HPCS has a zero tolerance policy on intellectual property violations or misconduct, plagiarism, multiple submission, no show, and any other unprofessional conduct.
Conference Consent
It is understood that the author's submission of any contribution to the conference implies that it is a consent itself to use the material, name & affiliation and related items in the conference proceedings, program and any other conference records or publicity venues we typically use for disseminating this information to the conference participants without any limitation. This consent would also include specific warranties that the author's material provided does not infringe on any third party's copyrights, trade secrets, or intellectual property.

In which index and abstract databases does IEEE include bibliographic records?
IEEE content is indexed by Google and has agreements in place with other publishers and services to include IEEE papers in their online and print indexes. Examples include INSPEC, Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science, Ei Engineering, and Village. For a complete listing, please click the Publishing and Indexing Partners link on the “Welcome to IEEE Xplore” help page. Please see https://www.ieee.org/documents/ieee_indexing_agreements.pdf.
The IEEE provides SCOPUS with all of the IEEE Xplore digital library content so that the bibliographic information (what is seen on an abstract page in IEEE Xplore, including the abstract) can be made visible. While IEEE does provide them with all of their content, it is not IEEE policy to determine what Scopus will or will not index. Additionally, once SCOPUS does load IEEE records, and the abstract is viewable to their users, the user can then link back to IEEE Xplore and lands on the abstract page of that particular record, enabling you to either view through a subscription or purchase the full text article.
If you have any questions, please contact the IEEE Customer Center at onlinesupport@ieee.org.
IEEE Policy on No Show / Non Presented 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.”
Papers excluded from further distribution will be archived at IEEE but will not be indexed or appear in IEEE Xplore.
Change of Presenters and Presentation
Authors of a paper must specify the presenter (one or more of them) as early as possible by the May 21, 2016 deadline. Once designated, the presenter cannot be changed without the prior approval of the program chairs. A request of change of presenter must be submitted by authors in due time so that proper approvals can be obtained. The presenter is expected to present in person based on final program schedule. Any changes must be cleared with the program chairs first. No request for change of presenter will be considered once the draft program is made. Failure to do so, the paper will be treated as a no-show.
IEEE ComSoc Board of Governors Policy on Pre-publication Author Misconduct on Double-submission and Plagiarism
"In addition to the IEEE policies, pre-publication author misconduct, such as double-submission or plagiarism, will result in rejection of the manuscript(s), and a minimum 6 month ban on submissions to fully owned ComSoc publications by the author(s)."
