Regular Papers: Regular submission can be up to 6 double-column pages including references. Accepted and presented papers will be available in the IEEE Xplore digital library. WIFS accepts only original research papers having no overlap with manuscripts that are already published or submitted elsewhere (including journals, conferences and workshops). Double submissions will be rejected immediately.

Demos and Work-in-Progress: We seek submissions for a special session devoted to work-in-progress and systems presentations. Authors of papers recently accepted to IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security or IEEE Signal Processing Letters will be given the opportunity to present their work subject to approval by the program chairs. Please see the website for more details.

Conference Theme and Special Sessions: The main theme of WIFS’20 is “Living in Synthetic Reality”. We aim to explore the impact of synthetic content generation on information integrity and encourage discussion and awareness of its impact on the society. We will host special sessions, keynote speakers and hands-on tutorials.
