Authors are requested to check the formatting of the paper prior to final submission. A paper will appear in the proceedings if at least one of the authors of accepted paper registers before the registration deadline and presents the paper. IEEE reserves the right to exclude an accepted paper from distribution after the conference, including exclusion from IEEE Xplore, if the submission does not meet IEEE standards for scope and/or quality. Articles excluded from further distribution shall be archived by IEEE but shall not be indexed or appear on IEEE Xplore. The final camera-ready paper due date is mentioned on the Home Page.

Please follow the following steps to finalize the camera-ready version of your paper:

    Step 2: IEEE Xplore Compatibility of PDF File

    Convert your paper from your source application format to Xplore-compatible PDF using IEEE PDF eXpress. Please use the following website to convert your source files into an IEEE Xplore-compliant PDF file: IEEE PDF eXpress

    First-time users should do the following:

    1. Select the New Users – Click Here link.
    2. Enter the following:
      • 64387X for the Conference ID
      • your email address
      • a password
    3. 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 need to follow the above steps, but should enter the same
    password that was used for previous conferences. Verify that your contact information is valid.

    Once you log in:

    1. Upload the source file that contains your paper for conversion
    2. Receive by email the IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF of your paper

    Please along with IEEE PDF eXpress compliant pdf file preserve a copy of the compliance message from PDF eXpress which needs to be uploaded to CMT, along with the camera-ready PDF file.

    Step 3: Camera Ready PDF File Submission

    Login to your Microsoft CMT Author system: Microsoft CMT Author System

    Upload your final camera-ready PDF file of the paper (Generated from IEEE PDF eXpress or Passed the PDF eXpress compliant check) by clicking the “Create Camera Ready Submission” field shown in “Actions” Column of the Author Console and submit your final camera-ready paper through the system. Also submit compliance message from PDF eXpress.

    The file name of your camera-ready submission should be paper<paper_id>.pdf and the file name of the compliance message should be compliance<paper_id>.pdf. For e.g., if your paper id is 178, the filenames should be paper178.pdf and compliance178.pdf.

    Note:

    1. All submitted papers must be written in English
    2. All submissions must have no password protection on the PDF file, and all fonts must be embedded.

    Step 4: Electronic IEEE Copyright Submission

    Login to your Microsoft CMT Author system: Microsoft CMT Author System

    Click on the “Submit the IEEE Copyright Form” Field shown in “Actions” Column of the Author Console. Follow the instruction of electronic IEEE Copyright Form (eCF) to complete the e-Copyright submission. A PDF copyright document will be created and stored on the IEEE file system automatically. You will have the ability to download the document. The author or signer will also receive an attached copy of the copyright form in email. A copy of the copyright form needs to be uploaded during final camera ready submission as an additional document.

    Note: Transferring copyright is a necessary requirement for publishing your paper in IEEE Xplore.
