Manuscript Digest Submission Guidelines
INITIAL PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
You are invited to submit original research papers within the IEEE IDCD 2026 scope. We accept only FULL papers, that can have a minimum length of 5 pages and a maximum of 7, including the authors' bios. Please use and fully respect the IEEE conference templates (Word or Latex) that can be found via the following link:
If you have any issues with your submission, please contact us using the following email address: info@ieee-idcd.org
FINAL PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
The IEEE templates have the code “XXX-X-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/$XX.00 ©20XX IEEE” in the bottom margin. Please remove this before converting your paper in PDF format as it should not appear in your submission. Before final submission, you will have to convert your paper into pdf format using the IEEE PDF eXpress tool. The conference ID is 53223X. You can access the IEEE PDF eXpress via the following linκ:
