Authors Guidelines

As WMNC 2021 will be held as a virtual conference, speakers are required to record and submit a video of their talk by October 13th.
However, we request all speakers to gives their presentation live.

The recorded video is mandatory and should be uploaded on EDAS like the camera-ready paper.
For each paper, the presenter of the paper must be indicated and his/her bio uploaded on EDAS.

During the conference on October 20 – 22, 2021, each Presenter is requested to join his/her session in order to give their presentation live and to be online to answer questions from the audience. Otherwise, the paper might not be published in IEEE Xplore. 

It is highly recommended to join the session 5 minutes before the session starts to check that each presenter is on, and in case there is a need of swapping between presentations in the session. Be aware that pre-recorded video of presentation are NOT meant to be played during the Session.

Below are the maximum duration of videos and Q&A sessions depending on the paper type:

• Duration of video files:
  • Full papers presentation video: 25 min
    
• Duration of the Q&A sessions on Webex:
  • Full papers: 5 min

Instructions for Video Recording

Videos should contain a prominent view of the presentation slides along with audio of the spoken presentation. Optionally videos may contain a shot of the speaker’s head for increased engagement. (This shot should be thumbnail-sized and overlayed on the slide images as shown here.) Many presentation software allows recording audio and video directly in the application and can export appropriate video files. Please see the notes below for detailed instructions for PowerPoint and KeyNote. If you use a different application, please see the notes under Other Options.

2. Follow these instructions to generate a MPEG-4 (.mp4) file from your slides and audio/video.
3. Alternatively, you can follow this video tutorial which goes through both of these steps. Also, see this video tutorial if you like.

2. As a last resort, and only if you are comfortable directly editing video, you can export your slides as images, record an audio track, and combine the two.
