Registration

Registration Policy

• The registration fee must be paid in full with a credit card when registering for the conference.
• Every paper (including those in Workshops, Fast Abstract Track, Industry Track, and Poster Sessions) must have at least one paid non-student registration (i.e., the student registration is not sufficient) before June 10 in order to be included in the conference proceedings or the QRS 2019 companions.
• Authors with multiple papers must pay one non-student registration for each paper.
• Each non-student registration covers all the technical sessions at the main conference and workshops, as well as meals and social events such as lunches, coffee breaks, reception, banquet, etc.
• Student registration only applies to full-time students. Proper IDs must be presented at the conference. It cannot be used to satisfy the registration requirement for the paper to be included in the proceedings or companions.
• Student registration does not include tickets for conference reception on July 23 (Tuesday) and conference banquet on July 24 (Wednesday).

• Cancellation by June 15, 2019: Full refund besides the $50 USD administrative fee.

• Cancellation after July 1, 2019: No refund. However, you may substitute another person for your registration at any time.
  Contact Professor W. Eric Wong in the event if you want to make a substitution.

Paper Presentation

Every paper must be presented by one of the authors at the conference in order to be included in the IEEE digital library and indexed by the EI Compendex. This requirement cannot be satisfied by a guest presenter who is not a co-author of the paper, nor by a video presentation without an in-person appearance; such papers will not be eligible for the digital library or the indexing service. Contact Program Chairs: Professor Bruce McMillin or Professor David Lo with sufficient justification in the event of extraordinary circumstances that would make attendance impossible.
