2. Submitting Your Paper
  • Once logged in, click "Create new submission" and select the appropriate track (SAP, CVIP, DCN, or DSA).
  • Fill in the paper title, abstract, and author list. Ensure all co-authors are added with their correct email addresses.
  • Make sure to upload your submission correctly in PDF format using the IEEE template:
  • Link to the IEEE template (chose “Conferences” and then “Original Research”)
    ✓ Including all figures, tables, and references, you are allowed a total of 6 pages.
    ✓ The only language permitted for papers is English.
  • Confirm all details and submit. You will receive a confirmation email with a submission ID.
3. Paper Review Process

All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review:

  • Each paper is assigned to at least 3 reviewers from the Technical Program Committee.
  • Reviews focus on originality, technical quality, relevance, and clarity.
  • Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by 2 February 2026 via email.
  • If accepted, you will receive instructions for camera-ready submission (deadline: 1 March 2026).
