Important dates

Paper submission deadline: November 29, 2024, 23:59 AOE

Author notification: December 23, 2024

Camera ready full papers: January 27, 2025

Conference:  12 – 14 March 2025

Submission Guidelines

Submissions must be in PDF format and should not exceed 8 pages for long papers and 4 pages for short contributions. All submissions must follow the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt) at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

The review process is double-blind and all papers need to be “best-effort” anonymized. We strongly encourage making code and data available anonymously (e.g., in an anonymous GitHub repository via Anonymous GitHub or in a Dropbox folder).

Submissions will be evaluated by at least three reviewers based on relevance, technical quality, potential impact, and clarity. All accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings volume published by Conference Publishing Services (https://ieeecps.org). At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the conference and present in person their paper at the conference venue in Turin.

Submissions should be made through the CMT system.
