Online Conference Program:
- All registered conference participants have received an email invitation to sign up for the virtual space of the joint online conferences, which is hosted on Moodle at https://moodle.brookes.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=51204. If you are registered but have not received the invitation email, please contact the Executive Organisation Chair Prof. Hong Zhu by email at hzhu@bbrokes.ac.uk.
- From August 3rd, conference participants can view the presentations of the papers recorded by the authors and submitted to the virtual space. The papers are available to view from the virtual space on Moodle, too. All conference proceedings are available for download. The virtual space also contains technical programmes, Zoom Room listings, and forums for discussions, information about keynote and panel sessions, even a virtual social event section.
- How to prepare for the live sessions: At the online conference sessions, the recorded videos will NOT be played. Instead, each author will give a 5-minute summary of the work followed by live discussions in the form of answering questions from the audience. All participants are strongly encouraged to view the videos, read the papers and prepare some questions for live discussions at the sessions.
- Live sessions: Please note that all plenary sessions (i.e. events across all co-located six conferences), including keynotes, panels, opening session, and closing and award session are all live sessions. The schedules can be found on the virtual space on the Moodle website at https://moodle.brookes.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=51204#section-0.
- Offline activities: In addition to live discussions at the sessions, each session also has a separate forum on the virtual space for you to post comments and questions in advance of the session and/or after the session for asynchronous text-based discussions.
- Platform for online video sessions: The conference sessions will be on the Zoom platform. In particular, each conference will have a dedicated Zoom room for the sessions of that conference, and an additional dedicated breakout room for informal meet-ups for the conference participants. Please joint the Zoom room a few minutes earlier because the sessions will start on time. Links to the Zoom rooms are available on the Moodle website at https://moodle.brookes.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=51204#section-1
- Slack: There are several Slack channels available for all conference participants, which can be used for, for example, real-time communication or for starting a threaded discussion around particualr topics, or for easily sharing materials with other participants. In order to join these channels, please follow the invite link available at https://moodle.brookes.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=51204#section-2.
- Have a great conference!

- The online event will be accompanied by a number of additional live plenary sessions and keynotes.
- Paper presentations, plenary sessions, and keynotes will take place on August 4, 5, and 6. The first conference day on August 3 will be dedicated to watching paper presentations and meeting informally online.

July 9, 2020:
- As part of IEEE's Open Preview program, the proceedings are now freely available via IEEE Xplore prior to the conference.
March 16, 2020:
- New conference date for IEEE DAPPS and all co-located conferences: August 3-6, 2020. The venue remains the same (Keble College, Oxford, UK). If you currently have an existing accommodation booking for the original April dates and want to attend in August: we will provide a facility to convert your booking to the new dates soon.
- Authors of accepted papers who cannot attend the August event on site will have the option to present their paper remotely.
- We hope you all are doing well and look forward to welcoming you in August!
March 10, 2020:
- IEEE DAPPS and the co-located conferences will be postponed to summer 2020 due to the Covid-19 outbreak. The exact new date of the conference will be announced very soon (within a week).
- Making this decision has not been easy. This decision was made by the joint steering committee of the co-located conferences after numerous discussions and telephone calls, several rounds of consultations with IEEE's Event Organisation Team, and renegotiations with the venue host. We have taken into consideration the current state and predictions officially announced by the UK government and many other countries. We have carefully compared various options, such as running the conferences online, completely canceling the conferences, and running it as it was scheduled plus online presentations for those who cannot attend, etc., assessed the impacts on both the academic and scientific quality of our event, the health and well-beings of conference delegates, as well as the financial viability. We believe that this is the most responsible reaction to the current situation of Covid-19 outbreak.
- This is the refund policy for the registration fees and accommodation bookings:
- Authors’ registrations cannot be refunded. Authors who still cannot attend the conference in person at the postponed dates due to good reasons will be allowed to present their work online remotely.
- Non-author registrations can be refunded upon request, but will have to be deducted by 10% of the registration fees to cover the cost of bank transactions and online registration facility usage fees.
- Accommodation bookings can be refunded upon request, but also have to be deducted by 10% of the booking price to cover the cost of bank transactions and online registration facility usage fees.
- For non-author registrations and accommodation bookings, please consider to delay your refund request until you finally decide not to attend, because if you make a future registration for the postponed event or accommodation booking after the refund, it will be treated as a new booking by the registration tool.
