Paper & Presentation Guidelines

Please read these guidelines carefully before preparing and submitting your full and short papers. Make sure also to read presentation guidelines for your submission type.

Step 1: Initial Submission

There will be a Main and a Late-Breaking Papers submission rounds for the conference. Each paper will receive at least two peer reviews, with a single-blind process (hence manuscript shall not be anonymized).

Main Full and Short Papers Submission Round

  • Full Papers: 4 to 6 pages in length including references

  • Short Papers: 2 to 4 pages in length including references

Late-Breaking Papers Submission Round

  • Papers: 2-6 pages in length including references
    In the Late-Breaking Papers round, work-in-progress contributions are expected, with the possibility of early preliminary results. Revised versions of papers not accepted in the Main Submission round could also be re-submitted assuming that concerns raised in the peer review have been duly addressed.

Format your paper using either the Microsoft Word or LaTeX templates for IEEE conference proceedings on US letter (8.5 x 11 inch) pages without author biographies.

You can find the respective templates on the IEEE website link below:

https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

You must submit your paper in PDF format through the EDAS Conference and Journal Management System (EDAS for short). When submitting the paper, you must include relevant keywords.

For the initial submission, there is no need to verify the paper with PDF eXpress. Instructions will be provided for the camera-ready version upon acceptance.

We recommend you to read How to Write for Technical Periodicals and Journals from the IEEE Author Centre.

Step 2: Notification of Acceptance

Authors will be notified about the outcome of the peer review on or before the announced dates. Step 3 only applies to authors whose work has been accepted.

Step 3: Camera-ready & Registration

You must now prepare the final, camera-ready version, of the paper, within the given page limits of 2-4 pages for short papers and 4 to 6 pages for full papers to reflect the reviewers' remarks.

If you wish to submit the article to an associated journal, the length of the conference paper should be restricted to four pages. Submissions of journal-quality papers will have to be directly submitted via Manuscript Central following the corresponding instructions and will undergo a new peer review.

Step 4: Presentation Guidelines

All the accepted papers will have to be presented in person at the conference in oral or poster sessions.

  • Full papers presented orally will be allocated maximum 15 minutes for presentation (13 minutes + 2 minutes for questions).

  • Short papers presented orally will be allocated maximum 10 minutes for presentation (9 minutes + 1 minute for questions).

    • There are no specific templates to prepare slides for the oral presentation.

  • Authors who have been selected for Poster presentation need to prepare their poster using A0 format (H 120cm x L 84cm), using the template at the link below. They will need to print their poster, and present it at the conference in the selected session in the program.
