Checking for copyright template XXX-XX-...

Many of the IEEE conference templates contain the copyright string placeholder XXX-X-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/$XX.00 ©20XX, to be replaced by the actual ISBN and year information. However, authors don't typically fill this in, as this is better done automatically by the paper stamping function in EDAS. Unfortunately, authors can't know this, so they leave the placeholder. This then requires authors to resubmit their final papers. We added a check, enabled by default for final manuscripts, that rejects the manuscript if the placeholder is found.

Equations in paper titles, abstracts and reviews

EDAS now implements MathJAX, so that all elements, such as paper titles, abstracts and review text, can contain LaTeX equations and symbols. Only \(...\) for inline math and \[...\] for display math are recognized since the dollar sign would trigger too many erroneous renderings when dollars as monetary units are meant instead of math.

(The choice is not based on the quality of the external service, but rather simply reflects the fact that IEEE prefers that all of its conferences use CrossCheck, and pays for that service.)
