Call For Papers

Although the camera-ready submission site explicitly requests IEEE format, authors are requested to continue using the same ACM template used in the initial submission. IEEE agreed to accept the ACM format as long as the steps below are followed:

Maximum number of pages:

The maximum number of pages is 10 pages including references in ACM two-column conference style, using US Letter (8.5-inch x 11-inch) paper size. An appendix of up to two additional pages may follow the main body of the paper, within the same submitted .pdf file.

ACM Footer, Reference Format, and CCS concepts:

To adhere to the IEEExplore requirements, the ACM copyright footer, the ACM Reference Format and the CCS concepts stripes (see examples below) must be excluded from the paper. If you are using LaTeX, the exclusion of ACM copyright footer and ACM reference format stripe can be achieved by using these two commands together:

\settopmatter{printacmref=false}
\renewcommand\footnotetextcopyrightpermission[1]{}

Note: You need to place these two commands just before the “\begin{document}” command.To remove the CCS concepts, simply comment out the \ccsdesc command and the \begin{CCSXML}..\end{CCSXML} block.

Example: ACM copyright footer (which should be excluded from camera-ready):

Example: ACM Reference Format stripe (which should be excluded from camera-ready):

Example: CCS Concepts stripe (which should be excluded from camera-ready):

Keywords

Authors are advised to include keywords at the end of the abstract.

Submit your Electronic Copyright Form

Authors with accepted papers have been contacted directly by the IEEE to submit the  IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (eCF) through the eCF system. The eCF system allows you to complete and sign the copyright release form. You must complete the IEEE copyright release form using the eCF system before submitting your paper. Papers with no eCF record will not be included in the conference proceedings.
Please note: You are stating that the material in your paper is original and you have not previously released copyright for this paper to another party. We cannot publish your paper without this properly completed form.

Create your IEEE Xplore-Compatible version

Only papers checked by IEEE PDF eXpress for IEEE Xplore compatibility are eligible to be submitted as final versions. This step can consume substantial time, so it needs to be done well before the deadline.

Log in to the IEEE PDF eXpress TM site.

First-time users should do the following:

1. Select the “New Users – Click Here link.”
2. Enter the following:
   1. 54341X for the Conference ID
   2. Your e-mail address
   3. 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. When you go back to the Dashboard, you can use the “Create New Title” and follow the instructions to upload and convert your PDF and generate an IEEE Xplore-Compatible PDF.

If your submitted paper is not compatible or the generation of the compatible version fails, you must address the existing issues. The verification and error solving process and may take time, so please do not start this step at the last minute. If you do not submit a final version that is a IEEE Xplore-Compatible PDF, you take the risk of your paper not being included in the conference proceedings.

Once you have generated an IEEE Xplore-Compatible PDF, you can submit it to https://ieeecps.org/.

Submit your Paper

Your final paper must be submitted no later than March, 4th 2022 (AoE) in order to be included in the conference proceedings.

To submit your final paper, please log into:
https://ieeecps.org/#!/auth/login?ak=1&pid=ifhdJu28kaMK8qGYbf7d0
Use the “Begin Paper Submission” and then upload your paper (as returned by IEEE pdf eXpress).

If you experience any problems during the upload process of your paper, please get in touch with our publication chairs Fatemeh Afghan (fafghah@clemson.edu) and Yasser Shoukry (yshoukry@uci.edu).
