Detailed Guidelines & Policies

Please read strictly before submitting your manuscript.

Paper Submission Guidelines

  • Language: All papers are required to be in English language.
  • CMT Consistency: During the initial paper submission via Conference Management Toolkit (CMT), authors must ensure that the author list and paper title in the PDF file match exactly the CMT registration page. The CMT page must include all co-authors. Failure to comply may result in withdrawal. The author list of an accepted paper can NOT be changed in the final manuscript.
  • Format & Length: Papers must be in IEEE standard A4 size two-column conference format. Maximum 8 pages in length including diagrams, pictures, and references. Only PDF files are accepted.
  • Originality: Papers must contain original work that has not been published or submitted elsewhere. The IEEE anti-plagiarism policy applies.
  • Plagiarism Check: Authors are requested to submit a Turnitin report (or similar tool) indicating a similarity index of less than 20% along with their manuscript during initial submission.
  • Topics: Choose one topic related to the paper for appropriate reviewer assignment. The introduction shall clearly indicate the unique aspect of the submission.
  • Edits: Changes can be made until the deadline. No submissions are accepted after the deadline.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections using AI-generated content must be flagged with a brief explanation of usage.

Note: The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and generally outside this policy, though disclosure is still recommended.

Review and Acceptance

  • All papers will be peer reviewed.
  • Papers exceeding 8 pages may be rejected.
  • Attendance: Acceptance is based on the condition that at least one author will register and present the paper at the conference. IEEE reserves rights to exclude a paper from distribution if not presented.

Presentation Guidelines

  • Presentations should use the ICAI-TEMS 2026 Cover Template.
  • Presentation discussion should be in English.
  • Duration: 15 minutes presentation + 5 minutes Q&A.

Important Note to Authors

  • In case of multiple authors, at least one author is expected to attend.
  • Registration Fee: Must be paid within the deadline. Late payment may result in exclusion from the program and publications. Each paid fee covers one presentation; additional fees apply for extra presentations.
  • No Show Policy: Per ICAI-TEMS policy, the program chair reserves the right to exclude any unpresented papers from proceeding to IEEE Xplore©.
