Camera Ready Guidelines

1. Step 1: All papers must be submitted in IEEE Conf template. For your convenience, we have uploaded the template on Overleaf.
   
   The password for your overleaf conference template is your paper ID, dash, first two characters of manuscript primary author first name (E.g., if paper ID is 101, and primary author name is Akram Ali, then password would be 101-ak).
   
   Click on the overleaf link to accept the conference template.
   
   





2. Step 2: Make sure your manucript contains the ISBN details at the bottom of the first page. For this, go to the manucript title and modify it as per specimen below.
   \title{Your Title Here\thanks{978-1-6654-5992-1/23/\$31.00 ©2023 IEEE}}
   
   
3. Step 3: Please adhere to the 6 page limit, including references.
   
   
4. Step 4: Prepare a point-wise rebuttal / response to reviewers in microsoft word. A sample rebuttal letter is given at the end of this page.
   
   
5. Step 5: Download the IEEE Conference Copyright form from https://www.icet.org.pk/2023/assets/IEEE_icet_2023_copyright.pdf and specify the details given below.
   Please note that the details you provide here will appear exactly as you mention in IEEE Xplore. If there are any mistakes highlighted at a later stage, the conference organizers will not be able to rectify those mistakes, and you would have to approach IEEE yourselves for correction. Hence it is important that you make sure the details are correct.
   • a) the Title of Paper
   • b) the Exact Spelling and Sequence of Authors. Authors must be specified in Full (i.e. First Name, Middle Name, Last Name).
   • c) Sign and date next to (1).
   
   
   
6. Step 6: Check your Paper on PDF-Express.
   • a) Create a new account by going to: https://ieee-pdf-express.org/account/signup. The Conference ID is 59753X, and specify your email of the correponding author.
   • b) Once account is activated, specify your personal information to fully create the account.
   • c) Visit the Dashboard from the menu on the left.
   • d) Follow the onscreen instructions to verify your PDF.
   
   
   
7. Step 7: Create a zip file containing the following and submit by email to icet.info@nu.edu.pk. Please specify the paper ID in the subject heading, i.e. [ICET 23] Camera Ready (Paper ID: 123).
   • a) Complete Latex Source Code and all good quality images
   • b) PDF File generated from PDF Express
   • c) Electronic Copyright Form

Point Wise Rebuttal Template

Author Formatting Notes

Note 1: There is an alignment bug in IEEE conference template if authors are more than 3.

This can be fixed by adding the following code below the title, and then, whenever there is an indentation issue of author, use \linebreakand instead of \and. This should be typically used after every 3rd author.

\makeatletter
\newcommand{\linebreakand}{%
\end{@IEEEauthorhalign}
\hfill\mbox{}\par
\mbox{}\hfill\begin{@IEEEauthorhalign}
}
\makeatother


This should fix the indentation to:

Note 2: Remove 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. from Author Names.

Note 3: If the author affiliation of all authors is the same, and there is too much repetition of the same university affiliation again and again, OR If the number of authors in a paper are more than 6, OR If some affiliation is very very long, and looks bad in the column format, then you may use the IEEE Conference Long Name Format (given below):

\author{
 \IEEEauthorblockN{
  Michael Shell\IEEEauthorrefmark{1}\IEEEauthorrefmark{3},
  Homer Simpson\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
  James Kirk\IEEEauthorrefmark{2},
  Montgomer Scott\IEEEauthorrefmark{2} and
  Eldon Tyrell\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}
 }
 \\
 \IEEEauthorblockA{\IEEEauthorrefmark{1}
  Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332
 }
 \IEEEauthorblockA{\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}
  Dept. of Computer Science, National University, Peshawar
 }
 \IEEEauthorblockA{\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}
  Twentieth Century Fox, Springfield, USA
 }
 \IEEEauthorblockA{\IEEEauthorrefmark{3}
  Corresponding Author: omar.kh@nu.edu.pk
 }
}


This gives the following alignment:
