Submit your initial full paper through EDAS

The full paper submission deadline has been EXTENDED to December 10, 2021.

The review process for papers submitted on or before the original deadline of November 26th at 11:59 PM EST will start the review process on November 29th. Please note that edits can not be made to submissions once the review process begins. 

Prospective Authors are invited to submit a FULL PAPER of typically 5 (maximum 6) pages consisting of a complete description of the proposed technical content and applicable research results, using the online submission system. Shorter submissions may be automatically rejected. Each paper should indicate appropriateness for the scope of the Conference, originality and quality of the technical content, whole organization, and writing style. The paper should, moreover, explain the significance of the contribution and contain a list of key references. It must be prepared according to the paper preparation guidelines provided below. A submission implies willingness to register and present the work if the paper is accepted for presentation at the Conference.

In case of minor revision, papers are accepted only upon condition that the changes requested by the Reviewers are satisfactorily addressed by the Authors in the final submitted papers. Final papers may be rejected if the Reviewers’ remarks have not been properly addressed.

Manuscripts will be fully reviewed, with the final decision made by the Technical Program Committee. Authors of accepted initial full papers must submit the final version according to the deadline of March 4, 2022, register for the Conference, and attend to present their papers. The length for final papers is maximum 6 pages without exceptions.

All accepted papers presented at the conference will be submitted for publication to IEEE Xplore, reporting the following statement: “This full text paper was peer-reviewed at the direction of IEEE IMS prior to the acceptance and publication”. A Student Poster Contest will be held for both graduate and undergraduate student papers, with cash awards for the best papers. Papers should be submitted by the students according to the rules that will soon be posted on the website and should be identified as student papers. 

For your convenience, the Style Manual and Conference Paper templates in various formats are available through the following links:

• Style Manual
• Paper Templates

**Accepted Papers will be submitted for publication to IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI/Compendex.
***Using the IEEE template is mandatory, and any variation from the IEEE template may lead to immediate rejection of your paper by the system.

Submission of Initial Full Paper

Please login to EDAS and follow the following steps:

1. Type in the title of the paper and enter a brief abstract of your paper. Then select the topic area your paper falls under best. [note: This will help in choosing the reviewers. The PDF of your full paper will be uploaded later]
2. Click the Submit button.
3. The next page you see will have a large green check mark and a statement that the paper was registered. The last row says Initial Full Paper, and has an icon of a blue cloud next to it. Click on this icon, and then you can upload the PDF of your Full Paper on the next page.

Initial Full Paper is used to refer to the PDF form of your full paper. You can also upload the paper by clicking the My Papers tab at the top of the screen, and then select the upload icon on the same row as the name of your paper. The upload icon (third column from the right) will open a dialog box that will enable you to select and upload the full paper file via the web or via FTP.

PLEASE NOTE: Selecting a presentation preference of Oral or Poster DOES NOT GUARANTEE the placement of your paper into a session of that format. IEEE I2MTC does not differentiate between oral and poster presentations in terms of quality or publication, and Technical Program Chairs place papers in their respective sessions based on multiple factors including amount of papers submitted overall and amount of papers within each topic. The format of your presentation will be communicated when the program schedule is announced.
