The 6th IEEE i-COSTE 2020, IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Technology and Engineering offers an ideal opportunity for researchers, engineers, academics and students from all over the world to bring the latest technological advances and applications in Engineering to the Southern Hemisphere, as well as to network and promote the discipline. Cutting edge researchers in this field will present keynote speeches during a four day programme that also features tutorials and technical sessions on theory, analysis, design, testing and advances within the field of modern Engineering .

The Gold Coast is a coastal city in the Australian state of Queensland, approximately 66 kilometres (41 mi) south-southeast of the state capitalBrisbane and immediately north of the border with New South Wales. Gold Coast is a major tourist destination with its sunny subtropical climate and has become widely known for its surfing beaches, high-rise dominated skyline, theme parks, nightlife, and rainforest hinterland. .

PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

ORAL PRESENTER GUIDELINES

Presenters, please be aware, and remain within, your allocated presentation length. The allocated time for Oral Presentations is 20 minutes including 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions. Powerpoint or similar presentations should be brought to the conference on a USB and be PC compatible. Your presentation should be loaded onto the lectern computer and tested prior to your session (during the registration time, coffee breaks or lunch time) so that they run smoothly without any delays. Student volunteers will be available in each session room to assist with loading your presentations onto the lectern computer. All session rooms will be equipped with an LCD/projector screens and a computer with Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe PDF reader.Please arrive at the session room at least 10 minutes before the start of the session and introduce yourself to the Session Chair and room assistant.You are required to handover a clearly written short biography to Session Chairs to introduce you to the audience. In your biography please limit content to academic titles and graduation dates, institute(s), job functions and research interests. The purpose of the biography is to allow the Session Chair to briefly introduce you to the audience and should be less than 100 words.

POSTER PRESENTER GUIDELINES

Poster presentation is intended for rapid communication. As such, keep the text to minimum, emphasize on images and graphs. Determine the key points of your paper and design the poster to reflect them. A visual flow based design (for example, use of arrows or block diagrams) is recommended.Each poster will be displayed on a free standing panel kit that has a usable space of approximately 120 cm wide × 230 cm high, in portrait orientation. We recommend to use an A0 paper in the portrait orientation to prepare your poster. Nevertheless, you are free to use other paper sizes as well that suit your poster. In selecting a paper size please make sure that your poster leaves some margin from the sides of the usable space. The poster should be clearly visible 1.5m away from the panel and you must select the font sizes accordingly. We recommend you to prepare for a 5 minute description of your work, which can be repeatedly used for various attendees.Your presentation space will be identified by a card with your paper ID number on it. Please display your poster in the break prior to your Session, all posters must be removed at the end of your Poster Session.

PAPER PREPERATION GUIDELINES

STEP1- Paper preparation format

The full paper should be in the double column strickly in IEEE format in either US letter or A4 size papers with the specific measures given in the following diagram.The IEEE Conference Proceedings templates (MS Word or LATEX) available at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html are designed with these measures and thus we encourage you to build your full paper on these templates. Maximum length of the full paper, including figures and references, is SIX (6) pages. Up to TWO (2) extra pages are permissible with an additional fee which can be paid during the registration.

STEP 2 - Creating your PDF File

The IEEE CSDE 2020 full paper submission site strongly encourage all the authors to submit PDF files only. The IEEE CSDE 2020 team will do the IEEE PDF Express checking for the authors before load the paper in the IEEE database for the final proceedings publication to avoid the simple mistakes by the new authors. As a reuslt the IEEE proceedings publication will be faster in 2021.
