Please follow all four steps carefully. Papers that do not comply with these instructions will not be included in the conference proceedings.
Step 1: Paper Preparation
Revise your paper carefully before preparing the final camera-ready version:
- Apply all comments and feedback received from the reviewers.
- Format all references correctly. Do not add new references to the paper after acceptance unless recommended by reviewers.
- Do not add specific references recommended by reviewers unless you genuinely believe they are necessary and relevant.
- Verify that every reference in your paper is correct, complete, and publicly verifiable.
- Avoid self-citations unless they are necessary and clearly justified.
- Do not cite papers that are not directly related to your work.
Strict Reference and Citation Verification Requirements
Authors are fully responsible for verifying every reference and citation in their final paper individually before submission.
The conference committee will conduct an extensive validation of the references included in submitted papers.
Authors must ensure that every reference:
- Is genuine, accurate, publicly verifiable, and relevant to the paper.
- Follows the official IEEE reference format and citation style.
- Includes the correct author names, paper title, publication venue, year, volume, issue, page numbers, and other bibliographic details, where applicable.
- Lists all author names in the reference list. The use of “et al.” in reference-list entries is not accepted.
- Includes a DOI only when a DOI exists and has been verified as correct. Incorrect, incomplete, fabricated, or unrelated DOI information is not acceptable.
- Accurately supports the statement or claim for which it is cited.
- Is not fabricated, misleading, incomplete, duplicated, unrelated, or included only to increase the number of references.
The following citation practices are not accepted:
- Multiple broad or unjustified citation ranges, such as [1]–[19], without a clear and direct relationship between every cited reference and the relevant statement.
- References that are unrelated or only weakly related to the paper's topic, methods, results, or discussion.
- Excessive or unjustified self-citation by the authors.
- Citations added only to satisfy reviewers, increase citation counts, or create the appearance of extensive literature coverage.
- Inconsistent in-text citations and reference-list entries, including missing references, uncited references, incorrect numbering, or mismatched bibliographic details.
Any inconsistency, incorrect or unverifiable reference, fabricated citation, incorrect DOI, unrelated reference,
unjustified citation range, or excessive self-citation may result in the paper being denied publication immediately.
The conference organizing committee cannot review, correct, rewrite, or verify references on behalf of authors.
Authors must not contact the committee to ask whether their references, DOI information, citation choices, or paper content are correct.
Verification of the manuscript content is entirely the authors' responsibility.
If a paper is denied publication or withdrawn because of reference or citation problems, requests to correct these issues after the final submission deadline will not be accepted.
This is a mandatory publication requirement and must be followed strictly.
Any paper with excessive self-citations or references that cannot be verified will not be published in the proceedings. No warning will be sent to authors.
Formatting Requirement: Your paper must be formatted according to the official IEEE conference template. Use the actual template (Microsoft Word or LaTeX). Papers that do not use the exact and correct template will be rejected.
- No header or footer
- No IEEE copyright notice
- No ordinal prefixes before author names (do not write "1st Author", "2nd Author", etc.)
Step 2: IEEE PDF eXpress
All camera-ready papers must be validated through IEEE PDF eXpress to ensure IEEE Xplore compatibility.
Website: https://ieee-pdf-express.org/
Creating your account (first-time users):
- Go to the IEEE PDF eXpress site and click "Create Account".
- Enter Conference ID: 70458X
- Enter your email address and a password.
- Continue to enter information as prompted.
- An online confirmation will be displayed and an email confirmation will be sent verifying your account setup.
Previous users of PDF eXpress should follow the same steps above but enter the same password used for previous conferences. Verify that your contact information is still valid.
Once you have registered:
- Upload your source file (containing your paper) for conversion.
- You will receive by email the IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF of your paper for download. Please do not change the PDF file name received.
- If your paper conversion is declined (not approved by IEEE), the system will provide you with the error log. Fix the issues and repeat the process.
- Do not email the conference chairs about errors in preparing the PDF or compliance with PDF eXpress. If you use the correct template, the PDF file should pass.
Step 3: Registration
- Register on EDAS using the correct category: Student, IEEE Member, or Non-Member.
- A second paper can be registered with an extra $100 charge. If you have a third paper accepted, contact the conference chairs for an arrangement.
- Registration covers 6 pages. If your final paper has 7 or 8 pages, an extra charge of $100 per extra page must be added when you register. This applies to second-paper registration as well.
- Authors who cannot register using a credit card should contact the chairs to arrange alternative payment methods (e.g., wire transfer or in-person registration).

Step 4: Upload Camera Ready Copy
Upload your final camera-ready paper through EDAS.
Only the PDF eXpress verified copy will be accepted. Do not upload any other version of your paper.
