The author list must remain the same as when the paper was submitted for review, and any changes in the author list or title is forbidden without prior written permission from the TPC Co-Chairs.

At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to register and to present the paper at the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings and be submitted to the IEEE digital library. More details for registration are available on the conference website.

Non-Presented Paper Policy : Each paper must be presented at the conference by an author of that paper, unless prior approval is obtained from the TPC Chairs and General Chairs. Papers that are not presented by their authors may be removed from the proceedings and from IEEE Xplore.

To ensure correct formatting, please use the style files found at the link below as templates for your submission. These include Word and LaTeX.

• https://www.ieee.org/content/dam/ieee-org/ieee/web/org/conferences/conference-template-a4.docx (Microsoft Word Template)
• https://www.ieee.org/content/dam/ieee-org/ieee/web/org/conferences/Conference-LaTeX-template_7-9-18.zip (LaTeX Template )

To submit the final version of papers, please read the entire paper kit (Microsoft Word or LaTeX) carefully to verify that your paper document is formatted correctly and that you have all the information you need before starting your paper submission. The paper kit contains detailed instructions on formatting your document and completing the submission process.

Please read the reviewers' comments carefully and revise your paper to address them. Refer to the author kit above for proper publication templates. Pages must not be numbered. Proofread your document (it will not be checked before final inclusion in the proceedings). Ensure that there is no header or footer added to the manuscript, except the copyright notice (see step below).

You will also need to include a copyright notice at the bottom of the first page of your paper. The exact notice depends on the outcome of the copyright transfer process :

• For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, the copyright notice is :
  U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright
• For papers in which all authors are employed by a Crown government (UK, Canada, and Australia), the copyright notice is :
  979-8-3503-4415-8/23/$31.00 ©2023 Crown
• For papers in which all authors are employed by the European Union, the copyright notice is:
  979-8-3503-4415-8/23/$31.00 ©2023 European Union
• For all other papers the copyright notice is:
  979-8-3503-4415-8/23/$31.00 ©2023 IEEE

LaTeX users can add the following lines just before \begin{document} for the copyright notice to show up. What is shown below is an example for the fourth copyright case above, in the other cases the copyright text should be adapted accordingly.

MSWord users can use: ‘Insert’ -> ‘Text box’, insert the appropriate copyright notice in the texbox, and place the box (without border) at the bottom left on the first page.
