Camera-Ready Instructions

1. Publication of Accepted Papers

• To ensure the inclusion of an accepted paper in the PACET 2026 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, at least one of the paper’s authors must register for the conference at the full IEEE member or non-member rate.

• All papers accepted and presented at PACET 2026 will be featured in IEEE Xplore®. However, papers that are accepted but not presented will not be incorporated into IEEE Xplore®, in accordance with the IEEE No-Show Policy.

2. Preparing the Camera-Ready Format

To ensure compliance with submission guidelines, a camera-ready paper must incorporate the specified copyright notice into the footer of its initial page. The copyright notice varies based on the authors’ affiliations:

• 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: 979-8-3315-8363-7/26/$31.00 ©2026 Crown.

• For papers in which all authors are employed by the European Union, the copyright notice is: 979-8-3315-8363-7/26/$31.00 ©2026 European Union.

• For all other papers, the copyright notice is: 979-8-3315-8363-7/26/$31.00 ©2026 IEEE.

Please check the paper reviews and consider them for your final revision. Also, proofread your manuscript for spelling and grammar errors. Make sure to add a copyright notice to the footer of the first page of each paper.

IEEE policy mandates a plagiarism check for all accepted papers. The organizing committee will conduct this verification through the IEEE CrossCheck Portal after receiving the uploaded camera-ready versions.

3. Generating IEEE Xplore®-Ready PDFs

All manuscripts must be uploaded to the IEEE PDF eXpress® website to ensure the creation of a PDF file compatible with IEEE Xplore®. Please verify and transform your final camera-ready document into an IEEE Xplore®-compatible PDF using the IEEE PDF eXpress® platform. The PACET 2026 Conference ID for this site is 68758X.

• In IEEE PDF eXpress® account Login or Setup page, enter the following:

  •  68758X for the Conference ID

  • Your email address

  • A password

Then proceed to create your account. Following your account setup, you will receive an online confirmation, along with an email confirmation to validate the setup of your account.

• To validate your paper, click “Create New Title”. Provide descriptive text for the document (a title is suggested), click “Submit PDF for Checking” or “Submit Source Files for Conversion”, and upload your file.

• Upon successful upload, email confirmation will be sent with your IEEE PDF eXpress®-compliant file. If you submitted a PDF for Checking, the email will indicate whether your file passed or failed.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that all modifications to the final camera-ready document, such as headers, page numbers, copyright notices, watermarks, etc., are made prior to the validation and conversion process. Making changes after validation and conversion on the IEEE PDF eXpress® site may compromise IEEE Xplore® compatibility.

4. Submission to CMT

The final IEEE PDF eXpress®-compliant file must be uploaded to the CMT Platform

The deadline for uploading the final version of the papers is: March 13, 2026.
