<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">After evaluating
the current COVID-19 situation and associated travel restrictions, the
conference will be held virtually with remote presentation on 17-19 December
2020 as the safety and well-being of all conference participants are of the
highest priority. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE
Xplore Digital Library after they are presented at the virtual conference. The
paper submission deadline has been extended to 12 September 2020 as we understand
many are facing unexpected challenges at this time.</span></p>
