Submission Guidelines
Paper Submission and Publication
Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference.
At least one author of accepted papers must attend the conference to present its contribution.
Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages, double column, IEEE style including tables and figures. Note that the regular paper size will be 8 pages, with the possibility to obtain up to 2 additional pages (total 10 pages) by paying a publication fee. A template for IEEE Proceedings style (LaTeX2e and MS Word) can be found here. Only Postscript and PDF formats are accepted.
Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system. The complete list of authors' names must be inserted when registering the paper on the EDAS system. Authors names can be inserted in the paper: that is, the review process is single blind. Authors should check if they already have a login on the EDAS system; otherwise, an account must be created before submitting a paper. If you are not already registered to EDAS please follow the instructions on the EDAS registration page , where you can login, or you can create a new EDAS user account.
IMPORTANT: Conference attendance by at least one author of accepted papers is mandatory.
- a paper title
- a short abstract
- a complete list of authors and their affiliations
- a contact person for correspondence
- a set of 1 up to 4 topics selected from the conference topics list
- postal and e-mail addresses.
Questions from authors may be directed to the General Chairs or the PC Co-Chairs.
Paper submission deadline: June 2, 2024 June 16, 2024 (FIRM)
