SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

For papers incurring ethical issues, e.g., those involving human participants, personal data, or security/privacy attacks, the Programme Committee expects the ethical considerations to be discussed in the paper and any required ethical approval from an institutional ethical committee to have been in place before submission.

Authors are invited to submit original papers, written in English, that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Technical papers must be formatted using the IEEE 2-column format and not exceeding 8 pages for full papers, 4 pages for short papers, 2 pages for poster papers, or 16 pages for systemisation of knowledge (SoK) papers (all excluding references). The paper submission templates are available on IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings. All papers must be submitted through EDAS via the URL (to be released). Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process.

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed using a double-blind review process with a rebuttal period. The paper should be anonymised, such that all identifying information (either explicit or implied – for example, names, affiliations, explicit self citations, acknowledge and funding sources) should be removed from the initial submission.
