PAPER SUBMISSION

Submission Guidelines

 

Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX and Microsoft Word formats can be used to write technical papers and are found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

A soft-copy of the full-length manuscripts in IEEE format should be submitted electronically via Microsoft CMT through this Link.

The deadlines for submission of the manuscript, acceptance notification, camera-ready paper submission, and registration are notified on the conference website. Any query regarding submission may be addressed to etncc@nust.na


Review Process

Submitted papers will undergo a review by at least two members of our program committee. The review criteria include quality, relevance, originality and correctness. For this conference, we will have a double blind review; the identity of both the authors and reviewers will not be disclosed. Only anonymised submissions will be considered.

Guidelines for preserving anonymity with double-blind submission:

  • Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title page of the PDF file that you will submit for review. This information need to be included in the final camera ready manuscript if your paper gets accepted. During the review manuscript submission, you need to include all the author details only at the Microsoft CMT registration page. The PDF file of the review manuscript should not have the author information.
  • Remove acknowledgments of identifying names and funding sources from the PDF file that you will submit for review. This information can be included in the final camera ready manuscript if your paper gets accepted.
  • Remove project titles or names that can be used to trace back to the authors via a web search engine.
  • Papers with the same title and abstract should not be posted on a public website, such as arxiv.org, or transmitted via public mailing lists.

During the initial manuscript submission process via Microsoft CMT, it is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that all the authors’ names are included in the Microsoft CMT submission page, and NOT in the PDF file. In particular, theMicrosoft CMT 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 Failure to comply with this rule might result in your paper being withdrawn from the review process.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 cannot be changed in the final manuscript.
