Paper Submission

IEEE PDF eXpress and Copyright Requirements:

You need to submit the final version of your paper with the modifications requested by the reviewers.

Once you have uploaded the final version, you will have a new option in the submission system labeled "Sign IEEE Copyright," which will take you to the IEEE eCF site, where you can transfer the copyright to IEEE.

! Do not add a copyright notice in the bottom margin of your first page. The post-production team will add the correct copyright notice.

Make sure ALL authors are indicated in the copyright form in the order as in your final paper! If modification is needed, press the "Edit" button. Also, make sure that the final title is correct!

An example of a form is given below.

If your IEEE Template contains a copyright notice in the bottom margin, remove it before you create a PDF.
The margin should be kept empty so the requested copyright notice can be added during post-production.

Proofread your source document thoroughly to confirm that it will require no revision.

• choose a password

3. Continue to enter information as prompted.

An Online confirmation will be displayed, and an email confirmation will be sent verifying your account setup.

Please be advised to comply with all the regulations listed on this page. In case of violations, your paper could be denied publication in the PEMC 2026 conference proceedings and the IEEE Xplore database. In such a case, IEEE will still retain copyrights for your paper, and you will not be allowed to republish it elsewhere.

Consider the comments of reviewers to improve the final paper.
Use IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings. In case the paper was started in another document with a different format, the text can be copied without format into the IEEE template. Another option is to save the document in plain text format (often known as TXT) and then import it into the template.
Please note that the new template includes an empty label at the bottom of the first page to add the copyright notice. We kindly ask you to delete the empty copyright notice (i.e., XXX-X-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/$XX.00 ©20XX IEEE) at the bottom of the first page of your source document.
Do not add page numbers in the final paper document.
Do not place the authors’ affiliation at the end of the first page of the document. This is a special space only for transactions papers, but not for conference papers. Move this data below the authors’ names, under the title of the paper.
Do not put the acknowledgment at the end of the first page of the document. This is a special space only for transactions papers, but not for conference papers. Move your acknowledgment notice near the end of the document, as a sub-section before the references.
No biographies or photos of authors are allowed in the final papers. Also, do not add titles, like Dr./Dr.-Ing./Prof., before the authors' names.
The page limit is a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 pages, which could be extended to 8 for a fee of 50 EUR/page.
Do NOT apply security settings to your PDF file.
Proofread your source document thoroughly to confirm that it will require no revisions.
Authors are personally responsible for compliance with plagiarism and self-plagiarism regulations provided in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual. Non-compliance could result in paper exclusion from publishing in IEEE Xplore.
Authors are personally responsible for providing a PDF file of the final paper, which is IEEE Xplore compliant.
The conference organizing committee retains the right to verify the quality of the final paper and reject final paper submissions of insufficient quality. If such a case arises, authors will be informed about this before the early bird fee deadline.
Authors MUST transfer copyright for their papers to IEEE using the guidelines below.
ALL papers MUST be registered by June 30. Every accepted paper must be linked to a FULL conference registration (i.e., not a student registration) by one of the paper's authors.
