Camera-Ready Submission Instructions:
Please read the following paper submission guidelines before submitting your papers:
- The IEEE Publication Services and Products Board has recently passed the following motion: “The use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated text in an article shall be disclosed in the acknowledgements section of any paper submitted to an IEEE Conference or Periodical. The sections of the paper that use AI-generated text shall have a citation to the AI system used to generate the text”.
This and other submission policies can be found in the IEEE Author Center Conference Author Submission Policies page at
https://conferences.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/author-ethics/guidelines-and-policies/submission-policies/ - All papers must be submitted through the IEEE CEC 2023 online submission system, using the link sent in the acceptance email.
- In order for your papers to be included in the congress program and in the proceedings, final accepted papers must be submitted, and the corresponding registration fees must be paid by Apr/29th (Anywhere on Earth).
- It is the policy of CEC 2023 that new authors cannot be added at the time of submitting final camera-ready papers. Please ensure that you are following this guideline to avoid any issues with publication.
If you encounter any problems with the submission of your papers, please contact the publication chairs: Rui Jorge de Almeida or Joao Paulo Carvalho.

Final PDF generation in compliance with PDF eXpress:
For compatibility with IEEE Xplore, the final PDF file needs to be generated through PDF eXpress tool for consistency. Please follow these steps to do so:
Before Creating a PDF
- Please revise the paper carefully, taking into account the reviewer’s comments to prepare the final version for the proceedings.
- Please add the copyright notice to the bottom of the first page of your source document. Choose the relevant option from the instructions given below. If necessary, contact the publication chairs for the appropriate copyright notice.
- The appropriate copyright clearance code notice is to appear on the bottom left of the first page of each paper according to the guidelines set forth in the Cataloging/Copyright Instructions for an IEEE Conference Proceeding (Link). Please use the option applicable to you from the following:
- For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, the copyright notice is: U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright
