Author Guidelines

The authors of ICEC-2024 should pay attention to the following:

Manuscripts offering high quality original and unpublished research, case studies and implementations are solicited.
Papers must be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages including figures for regular papers. If they exceed 6 pages, authors are required to pay additional fees as per IEEE guidelines.
Papers have to be formatted in the conference proceedings layout on A4 paper according to IEEE Template as follows:
All submitted papers will be checked for plagiarism through the IEEE CrossCheck system or Turnitin software. Plagiarism of the manuscript should be less than 15% excluding references
Authors of accepted papers should upload their final paper in PDF file must be compliance with IEEE eXpress PDF format.
Only accepted and presented papers will be published in the ICEC-2024 Conference Proceedings which will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore® digital library.

Selected papers from ICEC 2024 program will be invited for submission to special issues of peer-reviewed SCOPUS indexed journals (e.g., Springer Nature Computer Science SNCS journal).

Instructions for Submission of Camera Ready Manuscript to IEEE Author submission Portal

The author submission portal will be available to the corresponding authors of the registered papers for ICEC-2024 (individual email will be received by corresponding author after registration of paper) to submit the final camera ready papers for publication in the ICEC-2024 proceedings published by IEEE CPS. Once the acceptance of the paper has been received by the author(s) from the ICEC-2024 organizers, the updated and revised manuscript (after incorporating the review comments) should be used by the corresponding author(s) for preparing the final camera ready paper. The author(s) are requested to ensure that there will be no grammatical errors in the manuscript which can be ensured from different grammerly tools/softwares and similarity index should be less than acceptable limit. IEEE policy requires that all accepted papers must be checked for plagiarism.

Step 1: Prepare your revised final manuscript

Please use the updated and revised manuscript after Addressing the review comments before submitting the final camera-ready version.
Please make sure that all Figures and Tables are of high quality and their content is easily readable.
The paper limit is 6 pages and if pages are more than 6 then reduce it to 6 pages else extra charges may apply which will be paid during the conference registration.
Ensure the paper must strictly follow the IEEE conference templates.
The final paper submission will be renamed upon submission through this Author Submission Site. Author do not need to rename the final PDF file.
It is highly recommended that you proofread and check the layout of your paper BEFORE using PDF eXpress™ or submitting the final PDF version of your paper.
Proofread the source document thoroughly to confirm that it will require no revision.
Include the conference title to the header (top) of the first page and the conference title is 2024 International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Emerging Communication Technologies (ICEC)
Copyright details are included below for your reference. Include the IEEE copyright notice based on your belongingness to the footer (buttom) of the first page:
- 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: 979-8-3315-0843-2/24/$31.00 ©2024 Crown
- For papers in which all authors are employed by the European Union, the copyright notice is: 979-8-3315-0843-2/24/$31.00 ©2024 European Union
- For all other papers the copyright notice is: 979-8-3315-0843-2/24/$31.00 ©2024 IEEE

Step 2: IEEE-Xplore-compatible PDF generation

The final paper must be converted into PDF with settings compliant with the requirements of the IEEE Xplore digital library. To this purpose, the IEEE PDF eXpress web tool should be used. PDF files generated in a different way might not be IEEE Xplore-compliant and could be rejected.

The instructions to generate an IEEE-Xplore-compatible PDF file using the IEEE PDF eXpress web tool are listed below.

Create an IEEE PDF eXpress account using the following conference ID: 59683X
The first time you access IEEE PDFeXpress website, please follow the link in the bottom of the page “Create account”. 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.
After logging in, please upload the source files of your camera-ready paper for conversion (e.g. DOC, DOCX, TEX and so on). Alternatively, you can also just check the compliance of your generated PDF file.
You will have the opportunity to revise your submission if you are not satisfied with the PDF that PDF eXpress creates for you, or if the system finds problems with your paper, or if your PDF fails the PDF Check.
If there is a problem with your file, you will receive an e-mail detailing the problem(s). Otherwise the system will e-mail you a copy of your IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF file.
Generate the paper in PDF format and then validate it using IEEE PDF eXpress. No Validation may PREVENT publishing your paper.
After a few minutes, you will receive the IEEE-Xplore-compatible PDF version of your paper by e-mail. Alternatively, you can also download it from IEEE PDF eXpress.

Step 3: Uploading of PDF version to IEEE author submission portal

Only if the check for compliance with PDF eXpress was successful, you can submit your paper. The paper submitted at the conference system must have a proof of full compliance generated by the PDF eXpress facility. Papers without the compliance proof will not be included in the IEEE Xplore data base.

Step 4: IEEE Copyright Form

If a paper has been selected for publication in ICEC-2024 , the authors of the paper have to submit a Copyright Form, necessary for the inclusion of the paper in the proceedings of the conference, published by IEEE. ICEC-2024 conference uses the IEEE Electronic Copyright Service (eCF) which is integrated with the IEEE author submission portal.
Please note that all clearances for publication must be obtained by the authors.
By filling in the form, you are stating that the material in your paper is original and you have not previously released copyright for this paper and/or its content to another party.
The paper cannot be published in the proceedings if the form is not properly completed. and a wizard will guide you through the process.
A traditional copyright form with signature is not requested as it is replaced with the web form.

Step 5: Final Submission

Download the PDF file of your paper from PDF eXpress and upload it through Microsoft conference management system for ICEC-2024.

Please Note: This is final submission for the camera ready paper and it is requested to follow the necessary guidelines for submission of paper at IEEE author submission Site.

After submission, no changes are allowed and ICEC-2024 organizing committee will not be responsible for not inclusion of paper in the proceedings due to not adhering to IEEE guidelines.

Best Paper Awards

Three awards will be conferred with due recommendations from the program committee from the papers presented in the conference. Each award will carry cash prize and citations. One student best paper prize will be awarded from the papers where the students are the leading authors.
