If you have received a letter from your Technical Program Committee chair that your paper has been accepted, but you do not receive via e-mail your paper number by April 20, please send an e-mail to the Technical Program Chair ias-tpc@ieee.org giving your paper title and the technical committee the paper was submitted to.
