Is presence required in the conference to get the paper published
Dear All,
Is it really compulsory to be present in the conference to get our papers published?
For instance, recently I had written a paper to an IEEE conference. After about three months, the reviews came and they were positive. My paper was accepted. Then I did all the formalities like registration, IEEE plagiarism policy sign. etc and then I submitted the camera ready format to the conference. Then they returned a PDF version of my paper with Header containing Conference Signature (its name, year, place etc) and the Footer having some ISSN number. Then they gave me a formal invitation to attend the conference. Unfortunately, I could not attend the conference.
Are there any chances of my papers getting rejected from getting published?
