Camera Ready

PDF Version

All final versions of the papers, revised according to the reviewers' comments should be prepared and uploaded to the submission website by , .

Format guidelines

All papers must conform to the IEEE Formatting Guidelines to be published in the electronic conference proceedings and the IEEE Xplore. Submissions must be in PDF format.

All papers should be formatted as close as possible to the final format: A4 or letter sheets, two-columns, single spaced, Times or equivalent font of minimum 10pt. The page limit for long (regular) and special session papers is 6 pages, and for short (formerly poster) papers is 4 pages (references included). Additional pages have a fee of 100 € per page.

Make sure you are using the correct IEEE style file: the title should be typeset in 24pt font, and the body of the paper should be typeset in 10pt font. Use either the MS Word template or the LaTeX class (available here). We strongly encourage using LaTeX to prepare the paper: please use: Make sure you are using the correct IEEE style file: the title should be typeset in 24pt font, and the body of the paper should be typeset in 10pt font. Use either the MS Word template or the LaTeX class (available here). We strongly encourage the use of LaTeX for the preparation of the paper: please use:

\documentclass[a4paper, conference]{IEEEtran}

Finally, follow the following instructions.

Copyright clearance

Before you prepare your final pdf document, it is required that all papers submitted to IEEE publications include a copyright clearance code at the bottom of the first page of each paper. The proper notice depends on the country of residence of the authors and is as follows:

by adding the following commands just after the \begin{document} line: For LaTeX users, note that the \IEEEpubid tag is deactivated by default in the IEEE-conf.tex file when it is of type conference. This can be overwritten to allow you to add the copyright clearance code by adding the following commands just after the \begin{document} line:

\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
\IEEEpubid{\makebox[\columnwidth]{979-8-3503-1500-4/23/\$31.00 \copyright2023 IEEE \hfill} \hspace{\columnsep}\makebox[\columnwidth]{ }}

The example above is for the fourth category of papers, i.e., all other papers, which applies to most authors. If you experience problems with the above LaTex instructions when using bibtex, and if you are using \usepackage{fixltx2e}, then please remove the \usepackage{fixltx2e}.

Add the copyright notice to the bottom of the first page of your source document.

IEEE style check

Before you submit your camera ready for the accepted papers, you must use IEEE PDF eXpress to verify the IEEE Xplore compatibility. The specific conference ID is 59622X. Note that IEEE PDF eXpress can also be used to create the PDF file from your LaTeX source files, such that the PDF file is automatically IEEE Xplore-compatible. If your camera-ready version is incompatible with IEEE Xplore, your paper will not be included in the conference proceedings. The detailed instructions for using IEEE PDF eXpress are as follows:

  1. Access the IEEE PDF eXpress site at: https://ieee-pdf-express.org by using conference ID 59622X.
  2. Create a new account if you are a first time user.
  3. For each conference paper, click "Create New Title".
  4. Enter identifying text for the paper (title is recommended but not required).
  5. Click "Submit PDF for Checking" or "Submit Source Files for Conversion".
  6. Indicate platform, source file type (if applicable), click Browse and navigate to file, and click "Upload File". You will receive online and email confirmation of successful upload.
  7. You will receive an email with your Checked PDF or IEEE PDF eXpress Plus-converted PDF. When you submit a PDF for checking, the email will show if your file passed or failed.
  8. Once the paper has been checked/converted (you will be notified by email), please click on the “Approve” link. Be careful: without clicking the “Approve” link, the Publication Co-Chairs will not receive your PDF file.

IMPORTANT: Any changes made to a PDF after IEEE PDF eXpress Plus conversion or PDF checking may invalidate Xplore compatibility and run the risk of being excluded from publication on IEEE Xplore.

Copyright transmission

Each author will receive an email with a link to the online Copyright Form wizard and a unique login name and password to access their copyright forms. When an author completes the online copyright transfer process and submits the form, he/she will receive an automated confirmation email letting him/her know that the transfer has been completed successfully.

If you have problems or questions, please contact the Publication Co-Chairs
