Manuscript length: 6 pages maximum. This is a strict limit for initial submission. During final submission of accepted papers, authors may purchase extra pages if they find it necessary to address the concerns of the reviewers.

Single blind reviewing: IEEEICALT follows a single-blind review process. Authors are required to include their names and affiliations in their papers as illustrated in the sample templates. Templates (Microsoft Word and LaTeX) can be found at the following link: https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Ethical Requirements for Authors

The conference committee requires that all authors wishing to present a paper declare that:

  • The paper is substantially original and that no paper substantially similar in content has been submitted or will be submitted to any other conference or journal during the ICALT 2019 review period.
  • The paper does not contain any plagiarism, and
  • The paper will be presented by the author or a co-author in person.
