[visionlist] [Call for Papers] Iternational Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2020) - Deadline extension

[Vitomir Struc]

Dear Colleagues,

The IJCB 2020 organizing committee is continuously monitoring the 
COVID-19 situation and is aware that the pandemic affects everyone's 
research activities. To give researchers enough time to prepare 
high-quality submissions for IJCB 2020, we have decided to extend the 
second submission deadline to June 8th, 2020. The updated deadline 
applies to new submissions as well as papers that received a revision 
decision in the first round.

Detailed information on the deadline extension is available from the 
IJCB website: https://ieee-biometrics.org/ijcb2020/​

We are aware that receiving timely feedback on submissions is paramount 
for authors and that many have already submitted their work in the 
second IJCB submission round. We will, therefore, make sure that any 
papers submitted to CMT by the initial April 6th deadline will be 
reviewed in time for announcing the decision on June 9, 2020 (or earlier).

Please note that the IJCB 2020 organizing committee will ensure that the 
authors of accepted papers will be able to present their work and that 
the proceedings will be published as planned.

Do not hesitate to contact us in case you have any questions.


With kind regards,

IJCB 2020 General and Program Chairs
