Papers will be selected in a double-blind refereeing process based on the submitted full papers.
Final papers should have no more than 7.000 words (max. 9 pages all inclusive) and should be in the correct format (template available below).

A submitted paper should NOT include authors' names as we conduct a double-blind review process!
The filename of submitted papers should be the following: "Contribution_nnn".pdf where "nnn" is the paper ID given in Conftool at submission.

The paper should clearly describe its purpose and relevance, reference to existing theories and related works, research methods used and major results. Papers are expected to show the following structure: (i) Introduction, (ii) Relation to existing theories and work, (iii) Research approach, (iv) Findings, (v) Conclusion, and (vi) References.

Reviewing Process

Papers will only be accepted for review on the condition that the material is original, that it has not been copyrighted, published, presented or is currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.

Please see our ICE 2024 Author's Kit for detailed instructions about all relevant dates, correct submission of needed documents, and Conference Proceedings.

Review criteria will be:

• The quality of the contribution to the existing body of knowledge in engineering, technology and innovation.
• The relevance of the article in regard to the conference topics.
• The scientific/innovation quality of the approach described in the article.
• The redaction quality and clarity.

Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the editorial committee will allocate submissions for oral presentation of papers and/or for poster presentations.

All accepted, compliant and plagiarism-free papers will be submitted for publication in the digital conference proceedings to be available via IEEE Xplore® (with ISBN Number and DOI for the paper), only if at least one author pays a full registration fee before the deadline and is presented by an author at the conference.

Conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore and other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. All A&I providers can be found here: http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/when-your-article-is-published/abstracting-indexing-ai-databases/ and include amongst others Scopus and Web of Science

Authors of approved and selected papers will be invited to publish in special issues organized by prestigious indexed International Journals, subject to the international scientific rules for referee (list to be available soon).
