Submission Guidelines
Prospective authors are requested to submit a full paper of four to six A4 pages including illustrations and references, in English, in the format of a PDF file.
Accepted papers will be published as submitted in the Conference Proceedings that will be provided to all participants at the beginning of the Conference. To have the paper included in the final program, proceedings, and IEEE Xplore, the presenting author must register as a regular attendee (or as a degree student if applicable).As an IEEE policy, the papers by no-show authors will not be included in the IEEE Xplore.
For further information concerning the scientific program and submitted contribution, please contact Prof. Yannick Le Moullec or Prof. Peeter Ellervee.
Paper Format
The purpose of a conference template is to provide a consistent format for papers appearing in the conference proceedings. IEEE strongly encourages the use of the conference manuscript templates provided below.
IEEE conference templates contain guidance text for composing and formatting conference papers. Please ensure that all guidance text is removed from your conference paper prior to submission to the conference.
Failure to remove template text from your paper may result in your paper not being published.
Submission Site
The submission and reviewer processes will be managed by easychair.org on this: EASYCHAIR LINKIf you have used this system before, you can use the same username and password. If this is your first time using EasyChair, you will need to register for an account by clicking the "I have no EasyChair account" button. Upon completion of registration, you will get a notification email from the system and you are ready for submitting your paper.
