After you have registered and paid in full for the conference, please follow the instructions below to prepare your final paper and upload it. As a reminder, one (1) author registration is valid for up to 2 papers (or 1 paper and 1 Demo/Poster/PhD Symposium paper). One (1) registration cannot be used for 2 authors or 2 presenters.

PLEASE NOTE: A REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION CODE CAN BE ASSOCIATED ONLY TO PAPER(S) IN WHICH THE REGISTRANT IS AN AUTHOR OR CO-AUTHOR.

Formatting checks were enforced in the submission phase for final manuscripts. However, please allow extra time to fix any formatting errors and use PDF-eXpress to generate a compliant file. Your final paper is planned to be included in IEEEXplore for archival value after the conference. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude an acceptance paper from inclusion in IEEEXplore if it is not presented in-person at the conference. Please follow the following steps to finalize the camera-ready version of your paper:

1. Prepare in the IEEE double-column format using IEEE Conference Proceeding templates (see also General Formatting Instructions at the bottom of this page):
   1. For IEEEtran class in LaTeX, use the following as the first line in your LaTeX source file:

      \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}

      Note that with IEEE conferences, the author affiliation is listed under the author’s name, unlike IEEE transactions.

   2. DO NOT ADD ANY PAGE NUMBERING, HEADER, OR FOOTER (including the copyright info, which will be added by IEEE).
2. Go to IEEE PDF eXpress website:
   1. Create an IEEE PDF eXpress account (use conference ID: 70370X)
   2. Use ‘new user’ if you haven’t used this site before.
   3. Use IEEE PDF eXpress to check if your PDF file is Xplore-compliant, OR, else, you can use this site to convert your source files into an IEEE Xplore-compliant PDF file (e.g., for LaTeX users, create a zip file that includes dvi and your eps figure files all together, and then upload the zip file for the system to convert into a compliant PDF file; for MSWord users, upload the Word file and let it convert and return a compliant PDF file).
   4. Download the generated PDF file of your paper.
3. To upload your final paper for inclusion in the ICT 2026 proceedings:
   1. You must have your registration confirmation code and EDAS ID as these are required to upload your paper
   2. Upload the PDF generated by the IEEE PDF eXpress Website, which is a compliant copy of your camera-ready paper (Do NOT use ‘Approve for collection’ in PDF eXpress, if requested).
   3. Submit your IEEE electronic copyright form by clicking “Submit Copyright” within your author account
   4. Indicate which author will present the paper. If you have a substitute presenter who is not a co-author, please contact the General co-Chairs (https://ict2026thessaloniki.org/registration/transfer-substitution-policy).

GUIDELINES FOR POSTERS

Poster authors need to perform the following 2 actions related to their Posters:

(a) For the proceedings and IEEEXplore they need to follow the instructions found in the current webpage (about the upload of the CR version of the Poster).

(b) They need to be present in the event to “defend” their printed Poster since conference attendees would like to ask questions and discuss with Poster authors. They need to print their Poster of size A0 (841 x 1189 mm in Portrait or Landscape) and bring it with them in the conference.
