Information for Authors

To be published in the IEEE Future Networks World Forum 2023 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference, and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Other options, such as on-demand recordings or virtual presentations for those who are not able to travel, are being decided on a case-by-case basis.

Guidance for IEEE Publications Regarding AI-Generated Text

The use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated text in an article shall be disclosed in the acknowledgements section of any paper submitted to an IEEE Conference or Periodical. The sections of the paper that use AI-generated text shall have a citation to the AI system used to generate the text.

This and other submission policies can be found in the IEEE Author Center Conference Author Submission Policies page at https://conferences.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/author-ethics/guidelines-and-policies/submission-policies/

 

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

This section provides guidelines regarding acceptable manuscript applications, layouts, fonts, and graphics.

  1. Templates: Please use Microsoft Word or LaTeX to create your document. It is strongly suggested to use the IEEE templates that incorporate the correct formatting specifications. If you decide not to use the templates, please be aware that you might incur into problems when submitting the camera ready, where strict formatting according to the Definition Table and Glossary will be enforced.
  2. Page limit: The suggested size is five to six (5-6) pages. Papers up to eight (8) printed pages including figures, and tables will be allowed with the purchase of additional page charges at the time of registration and final paper submission.
  3. Headers, footers, and page numbers: No headers, footers, or page numbers should appear on your manuscript.
  4. Margins : Papers cannot be accepted with margins smaller than those given in the table below:

Margin

  1. Fonts : Fonts must be either Post Script or True Type and licensed for embedding. Use of unlicensed and custom-made or hacked fonts is strictly prohibited; your submission will be rejected if it is found to contain them. Below is a list of recommended fonts:

Times New Roman

  1. Graphics and Images:
  • Choose vector graphics (e.g., .eps or .pdf) over bitmap (.bmp, .png, or .jpg) images because they are electronically efficient and will not conflict with conversions to PDF.
  • All images should be checked by printing to hardcopy if the conference will be producing a book, especially when color images in your paper will be translated to black and white in print.
  • Resolution should be between 150 and 300 dpi or less. Resolutions greater than 300 will cause down sampling; images below 300 will not render well in print.
  • Labels within graphics should have a type point size of 4 or higher.
  • Smooth Graphics should not be used as it often produces extremely large files with slow loading time. The Smooth Graphics option is usually found in the Page Setup Dialog bo

AUTHOR AND PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

IMPORTANT IEEE POLICY ANNOUNCEMENT: The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (including its removal from IEEE Explore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Communications society will take action against any author who engages in either practice. Follow these links to learn more:

PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IEEE Future Networks World Forum 2023 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference, and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE Future Networks World Forum 2023 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®.

During the initial paper submission process via EDAS, it is the author's responsibility to ensure that the author list and the paper title of the submitted pdf file are an exact match to the author list and paper title on the EDAS registration page.  In particular, the EDAS registration page must include all co-authors, not just the submitting author. Failure to comply with this rule might result in your paper being withdrawn from the review process. Please be aware that the author list of an accepted paper can NOT be changed in the final manuscript. Only PDF files will be accepted for review, and all submissions must be made through EDAS.
