Call for Papers

Download the Call for Papers.

Prospective authors are invited to submit a 50-word abstract and a 1000-word summary of their paper for consideration.  All submissions will be considered by the technical program committee.  All accepted submissions require a full author registration.  An author will be allowed to register for one paper only with his/her main registration. Note:  All authors need to have full registration to attend and present a paper, even if another coauthor has registered a shared paper as an additional submission. 

Submission is in electronic form via the website. Acceptable format is: PDF (IEEE Xplore compatible PDF). Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, subject to advance registration of at least one of the listed authors, and presentation of the papers. Papers should identify the “Subject Area” and include information about the contact author (name, mailing address, phone, and email). Authors should obtain company and government clearances prior to submission of papers. IEEE copyright release forms are required with the final camera-ready paper. All papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee. They will be judged with respect to their quality, originality, and relevance.  Nominations will be solicited for the D.W. Repperger Best Paper Award (POC: Dr. Robert Ewing). The best student paper will be selected, and a Best Student Paper Award conferred.

Full submission details will be available on the conference website NLT 30 April: https://attend.ieee.org/naecon-2021
