GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR YOUR SUBMISSIONThe initial 2-page summary will create your first impression on the Technical Program Committee. As such, it is recommended that the submission is succinct while conveying the significant contributions of your work. The submission should include the main points, methods, results, and conclusions to assist the Technical Program Committee in making their decision in your favor. The camera-ready papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for publication and, therefore, should be of high quality. The submissions will also be checked for plagiarism.
