IEEE formatting guidelines and specifications

Do not add any page numbering, header or footer other than the copyright info discussed in the following. Add the copyright notice to the bottom left of the first page of your source document before creating a PDF. The following copyright notice has to be added:

• For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, the copyright notice is: U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright

• For all other papers the copyright notice is: 979-8-3503-5232-0/24/$31.00 ©2024 IEEE

Note: Normally, you should select the last example as a copyright notice. If you are unsure which copyright notice to choose, please contact INDEL 2024 Publication Chair at the following email: mladen.knezic@etf.unibl.org.

The addition of the copyright notice to your paper can be done as follows:

• MSWord users can use: Insert -> Text box, insert the appropriate copyright notice in the texbox, and place the box (without border) at the bottom left on the first page;
• Latex users can add the following lines just before starting the document part (example for others):

\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
\IEEEpubid{\makebox[\columnwidth]{979-8-3503-5232-0/24/\$31.00~\copyright~2024 IEEE \hfill}
\hspace{\columnsep}\makebox[\columnwidth]{}}

Note: Please add the copyright notice discussed above to the final version of your paper before checking for compliance with IEEE PDF eXpress requirements discussed below.

Final versions of accepted papers must be prepared using IEEE PDF eXpress requirements:

• Go to the IEEE PDF eXpress website
• If you never used IEEE PDF eXpress, then click on the link Create account and fill in requested information.
• If you have used IEEE PDF eXpress before, then enter your email address and password.
• The Conference ID is: 62640X
• Continue to enter information as prompted.

Only if the check for compliance with PDF eXpress was successful, you can submit your final paper. The final paper to be submitted to the Microsoft CMT submission system must be accompanied by a proof of full compliance generated by the PDF eXpress facility. Please forward the email generated by the PDF eXpress facility for the final submission to INDEL 2024 Publication Chair (mladen.knezic@etf.unibl.org). Papers without the compliance proof will not be included in the IEEE Xplore database.

IMPORTANT: Any changes made to a PDF after IEEE PDF eXpress conversion or PDF Checking may invalidate Xplore compatibility. This includes headers, page numbers, copyright notice, watermarks, etc. If any of these elements are desired, they should be added to the document before a PDF is created.

Submission of the final paper in the Microsoft CMT submission system

For final submission, log into the Microsoft CMT submission system and access your already existing paper ID. Please do not submit a new paper with a new paper ID, but just update the previously submitted paper by the final version using the Create Camera Ready Submission link. You will also be offered to make the final changes of the paper meta-data (e.g., paper title, abstract, authors, etc.) if necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Ensure that the final paper version uploaded using the Microsoft CMT submission system is the PDF generated by the PDF eXpress facility (that you should have received by email after compliance check is completed successfully) with appropriate IEEE signature (e.g., in Adobe Acrobat Reader you should see a value "Certified by IEEE PDFeXpress at [date-time]" for Application field in Document properties window).

IEEE Copyright Form

For each paper, one author has to complete the IEEE electronic Copyright Form (eCF). You can access the IEEE eCF form from the Microsoft CMT submission system by clicking on the link Submit IEEE Copyright Form available within your submission. Please follow the instructions provided and do not forget to upload the PDF file generated after signing IEEE eCF to the Microsoft CMT submission system as requested.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that information about the paper in the IEEE eCF absolutely matches the one in the camera-ready paper you submitted to the Microsoft CMS.
