    • Paper must fulfil requirements for publication in a scientific journal (please see below for details). Each scientific paper will pass anonymized and independent review process that will determine its eligibility for publication in IEEE conference proceedings.
    • Scientific papers can be presented in the form of an oral presentation or poster presentation. Authors are kindly asked to select the preferred presentation form during paper submission.
  2. TECHNICAL PAPER
