Authors must register in order to submit final papers. Each paper must have either a full registration or an additional paper charge associated with it.

AI Policy:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools may not be used in place of an author to generate content in an article.  AI tools may be used to modify existing text generated by the paper authors, for example to improve grammar.  Where AI tools are used for such purposes, their use shall be disclosed in the acknowledgements section of the paper.

Usage of photographic and video material taken at IEEE events:

To comply with global data privacy laws, IEEE imposes certain restrictions on the use of multimedia at its events (e.g. photography, video, audio, online streaming, and all future mediums). An attendee is permitted to use hand-held cameras and/or smart phones to take photographs and capture digital images for personal, non-commercial use, provided the photography is not disruptive. Photographs may not be published, sold, reproduced, transmitted, distributed, or otherwise commercially exploited in any manner whatsoever.

IEEE may hire professional service providers (photo/video/streaming/audio) to document and display the event experience.  IEEE may also use social media (e.g. Twitter) to: (i) post real-time photos and videos to its social media feeds; and (ii) display select submissions from those feeds on monitors throughout the event venue. Attendees and sponsors are encouraged to capture their event experiences and post their own social content from the event (text, photos, audio, video, streaming), provided it does not infringe upon the rights of any attendee, sponsor, third party, or IEEE. Such infringement would include, but is not limited to, defamation or infringement of intellectual property rights. In the event an attendee requires a release or permission to protect the rights of a third party, obtaining such a release or permission shall be the sole responsibility of the attendee.

By attending the event, you acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) IEEE may edit and use footage it captures at the event for marketing and promotional activities and for any other lawful purpose in the  ordinary course of its business; and (b) due to the prevalence of mobile recording devices in today’s world, IEEE disclaims all liability for the capture of your image in any multimedia format by other attendees at the event.

Event Conduct and Safety Statement:

IEEE believes that science, technology, and engineering are fundamental human activities, for which openness, international collaboration, and the free flow of talent and ideas are essential. Its meetings, conferences, and other events seek to enable engaging, thought-provoking conversations that support IEEE’s core mission of advancing technology for humanity. Accordingly, IEEE is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment to all participants, including staff and vendors, at IEEE-related events.

IEEE has no tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form at IEEE-related events. All participants have the right to pursue shared interests without harassment or discrimination in an environment that supports diversity and inclusion. Participants are expected to adhere to these principles and respect the rights of others.

IEEE seeks to provide a secure environment at its events. Participants should report any behavior inconsistent with the principles outlined here, to on site staff, security or venue personnel, or to eventconduct@ieee.org.
