Starting this year, TSSA will use the Electronic Copyright Form (eCF) instead of the regular copyright form. Therefore, the authors are not required to send the scanned copyright form to our e-mail. Instead, one of the authors will receive the link to sign the Electronic Copyright Form (eCF) from ecopyright@ieee.org. The authors will be notified via e-mail for further information regarding the eCF signing. (Note: only one of the authors should sign the eCF)
Do not forget to register your paper according to https://tssa-conference.org/2022/registration/ and send your payment receipt to tssa.conference@gmail.com with e-mail subject: PaymentReceipt#[EasyChair submission number].
