Copyright Forms
IEEE requires that an author of every published paper signs a copyright agreement. Corresponding authors of accepted papers will receive e-mails from EasyChair with instructions how to submit the copyright agreements.
To sign the agreement via EasyChair, you should:
- Log in to EasyChair;
- Click on “Alerts” in the main menu;
- Click on “IEEE copyright agreement for paper title“.
If there is no such link under your Alerts menu tab, then one of the authors already signed the agreement on behalf of all authors. If you are a corresponding author of an accepted paper and you have not received any e-mail by October 15, 2023, please contact us.
Instructions for the submission of the camera-ready papers
Replace the copyright notice:
XXX-X-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/$XX.00 ©20XX IEEE
at the bottom left corner in the footer of the first page of your source document.
The copyright notice should remain formatted as in the template. Please, do not make it bold.
The choice of the new copyright notice should correspond to what you filled in the copyright transfer form:
- 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 papers in which all authors are employed by a Crown government (UK, Canada, and Australia), the copyright notice is:
979-8-3503-1324-6/23/$31.00 ©2023 Crown
- For papers in which all authors are employed by the European Union, the copyright notice is:
979-8-3503-1324-6/23/$31.00 ©2023 European Union
- For all other papers the copyright notice is:
979-8-3503-1324-6/23/$31.00 ©2023 IEEE
Proofread your source document thoroughly to confirm that it will require no revision.

Please, keep in mind that each accepted paper must be presented either on-line or in person at the conference to be published in the conference proceedings. If a paper is not presented at the conference, it will not be included in the conference proceedings.
