The conference comprises both oral and poster presentations. All accepted papers must be presented in-person at the conference. Exceptions may be granted by the General Chairs prior to the event. We reserve the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including publication in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.

Papers can be submitted in extended abstract form (at least 2 pages, A4 format), with sufficient detail to allow the review. Camera-ready papers are limited to a maximum of 8 pages, A4, two-column IEEE conference format. Page numbers, headers and footers are not allowed. All fonts have to be embedded in the PDF file. LaTeX users should ensure to use IEEEtran style in conference and comsoc mode. Please refer to the IEEE Manuscript Template for Conference Proceedings guidelines when formatting both the initial and the final camera-ready submission. The final manuscript must be certified by IEEE PDF eXpress.

Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and we will take action against any author who engages in either practice. For more information, please refer to the IEEE Policy on Plagiarism and the IEEE Policy on Double Submission.

All papers must be submitted in PDF via EDAS.



Instructions for Final Manuscript Submission


Please make sure to complete all the steps for the final manuscript submission before the deadline of February 11, 2024.

No paper will be published without the submitted IEEE Copyright Form or registration to the conference.

For your convenience, the copyright form is made available digitally through EDAS. To access the IEEE eCopyright Form, click the "Add" icon in the "Copyright" row within your paper record. Please use the booking number from Eventbrite as registration code in EDAS and specify who will be presenting the paper in the "Presented by" row. Click that "Add" icon and select the presenter.

The final manuscript of your paper should account for all the critical reviewers' feedback.

The final manuscript has to be uploaded as PDF file and must meet IEEE requirements. This includes checking the file format and the margins, and ensuring that all fonts are embedded. The PDF file must not contain form fields, scanned images, bookmarks, cross-references or hyperlinks. Please do not use LaTeX packages such as hyperref.

Please use IEEE PDF eXpress to check and convert the final manuscript of your paper for IEEE Xplore compliance before submitting it through EDAS. Log in at https://ieee-pdf-express.org/ and enter 61681X for the Conference ID. If you use IEEE PDF eXpress for the first time, please go to https://ieee-pdf-express.org/account/signup/. In both cases follow the given instructions for the next steps. You will receive an e-mail with the checked and converted PDF file attached. The e-mail will show if your PDF file passed or failed. If the PDF file passed the check, you can proceed to upload the converted PDF file in EDAS.

For questions regarding IEEE PDF eXpress, you can contact the Publication Support Center.
Please ensure to quote your abstract ID from IEEE PDF eXpress in all correspondence.
