The paper submission is now open!
Original research papers are solicited that present theoretical, as well as applied, practical and experimental work related to the areas and topics of interest (see Call for Papers). Please refer to the Information for Authors for details on paper submission and review process.
Two special sessions have been announced: 1) the Special session in Near Field Communication (NFC) and Contactless Communication Technologies, and 2) Special Session on eAccessibility and User Experience (eAUX).
The program will also feature the 3rd Workshop on Regulatory Challenges in the Electronic Communications Market.
1. Paper Format
Instructions on the format of ConTEL papers and the corresponding LaTeX and MS Word templates can be found under Paper Format.
2. Paper submission and review procedures
Papers submitted to ConTEL must not have been published, submitted, or accepted for publication elsewhere. IEEE policy regarding plagiarism and multiple submission/publication will be strictly enforced. For more detailed guidelines and policies, see IEEE intellectual property rights.
Submitted papers will undergo a peer review process, coordinated by the Program Committee.
3. Paper submission through EDAS
We use EDAS Conference Management System for the overall paper submission and review process. Please use your existing EDAS account if you have one.
Papers are submitted online. For submission instructions, go to Paper Submission. Once you are ready to submit, go directly to EDAS.
4. Paper publication policy
Submission of a paper implies the authors acknowledge the requirement of registration and attendance by at least one author at the conference. For an accepted paper to be included in the conference program and the ConTEL 2013 Conference Proceedings, at least one of the authors is required to register by early/author registration deadline and attend the conference to present the work.
5. Conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore®
The ConTEL proceedings will be published in hardcopy and electronically in IEEE Xplore®, and submitted for indexing in INSPEC. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., remove it from IEEE Xplore®) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
6. Author registration
At least one author of each accepted paper must register before the Author/Early Registration deadline at the Member or Non-member rate. See Registration for rules, deadlines, and rates.
7. Journal publications
Authors of the best accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version for possible journal publication after the conference.
8. Best student paper award
There will be a Best student paper award. Competition will be open once the acceptance/rejection letters are mailed out.
9. Cost of participation
Expenses associated with the conference participation, including but not limited to the registration fee, travel and accommodation, are the responsibility of the author. The conference organizers are unable to provide funding or assistance in that matter.
