Paper Requirements

Submitted papers must present previously unpublished research. The initially submitted extended abstract should be of sufficient detail (min. 2 pages A4) to permit reasonable evaluation by experts in the field.

In particular, the extended abstract should include a concise presentation of the main contributions and their relevance, discussions (including references) on how the contributions are related to prior work in the field, a clear problem statement, a summary of the envisaged solution approach and, if applicable, preliminary results.

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the VDE Verlag GmbH and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

Extended abstracts (min. 2 pages) as well as final papers are limited to a length of 8 pages and must be prepared according the IEEE template. Please make sure to submit your paper in A4 format (not in letter size). All submissions must be written in English.
