Preparation of Contributions
Use the following templates to prepare your contributions:
These links might be helpful:
- The IEEE Citation Reference may help you with the references in your paper.
- Get the list of IEEE recommended keywords. (E-mail link: if it doesn't work directly from your browser, send an empty e-mail to keywords@ieee.org with "IEEE Keywords" in the subject line.). If IEEE returns an error mail, try this link: IEEE Taxonomy.
IMPORTANT
The conference proceedings will be submitted to IEEE Xplore® (acceptance is not guaranteed, but usually obtained for this conference). This ensures a wide dissemination of your valuable work. Therefore, some rules must abolutely be followed:
- When submitting the final paper the electronic copyright form on the submission server must be signed. Papers without the electronic copyright signature cannot not appear in the conference proceedings.
- The format instructions in the template must be followed, it is notably important
- to use the right paper format: A4
- to have the right margins (as in the template)
- not to use page numbering or anything else (page footer must be completely empty)
- to leave a message in the remarks field (on the submission server, when submitting) if ALL authors of one paper are employees of the US government or a crown government (UK, Canada, Australia)
The copyrights of the papers are transferred to IEEE (except US or crown governments).
IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
Handling of Non-Presented Papers
Authors are expected to attend the conference in person to present their papers and share their ideas. If a paper is included in the proceedings distributed on site and is later identified as a non-presented paper, it will still be included in the proceedings delivered to IEEE. However, it will be flagged as "no-show" so that the paper will be archived but will not be indexed or appear in IEEE Xplore. Copyright of non-presented papers is still retained by IEEE.
Indexing
All papers scheduled for presentation are submitted to IEEE Xplore. After that, other indexing services evaluate conferences and independently determine what they will index.
