Format Guidelines
All submissions must follow IEEE conference paper formatting guidelines to ensure consistency and professional presentation across all research contributions.
We provide comprehensive templates for different submission types to streamline your preparation process and maintain publication standards.
General Requirements
- Use IEEE conference paper format without modifying margins, font sizes, or styles

Citation Style
All submissions must follow IEEE citation style, the standard format for academic conferences in our field. This ensures consistency and professional presentation across all publications.
Our templates include comprehensive examples of reference formatting for journal articles, conference papers, books, and online sources.
