| May 27, 2015 at 8:21 | comment | added | bvanlew | Sorry scaaahu but where I'm from if someone writes "I can only assume he was tired that day (he is an old man)" then most people would understand that as meaning that there may be health issues due to old age that prevent him functioning. So my suggestion is not ground-less as you put it, it is based on a careful reading of the OP's input. My reply also addresses that fact that you do effectively enter a contract with IEEE when you sign over copyright. Like all contracts there are legal rules and precedents that apply when considering if someone is in breach of the contract or not. | |
| May 27, 2015 at 3:07 | comment | added | Nobody | The problem with your answer is that the suggestion is based on the assumption the co-author has health problem which we (including the OP himself) do not know if it's true. Thus, the suggestion is ground-less. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 15:04 | comment | added | bvanlew | Good to hear. My intent in this suggestion was to attempt to find a face-saving measure for all involved. You don't want to antagonize your co-author or IEEE, at the same time IEEE can't be seen to be lax on their rules but I think it does not benefit IEEE to appear draconian in the application of the said rules. I'm a little disappointed however that my suggestion met with so much negative comment and a down vote. Good luck with the resolution of this problem! | |

| May 26, 2015 at 14:22 | comment | added | bvanlew | I'd be interested to hear the OP's comment on this. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 13:26 | comment | added | starsplusplus | The tiredness/oldness was simply OP's guess. OP actually has no information about why supervisor didn't turn up. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 12:57 | comment | added | bvanlew | When someone is ill, incapacitated or simple exhausted contacting someone about a cancelled appointment may be the last thing on their mind. Will IEEE ask for a doctor's certificate? Maybe not - that is your assumption. They might simply choose to accept the OP's word as to the infirmity of the co-author. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 12:45 | comment | added | Nobody | Being old and tired is not necessary a health problem. Please also note that the co-author failed to inform the conference committee of his inability to present. I don't see how to use health issue as an execuse unless the co-author can present a doctor's certificate to prove that there was indeed a health issue, You made very strong assumption here. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 12:36 | comment | added | bvanlew | The OP said "I can only assume he was tired that day (he is an old man)". That sounds like a health problem to me. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 12:16 | comment | added | Nobody | the co-author's inability to present was apparently due to health reasons The OP did not say that. | |
