Instructions for Authors of Accepted Papers

Authors of accepted papers are invited to prepare and submit the final (camera-ready) version of their manuscript by following the instructions below.

1. Prepare the Camera-Ready Paper

Please revise your paper in accordance with the reviewers’ comments and prepare the final version using the official IEEE Conference Template.

The final manuscript must:

• be written in English;
• be 6 pages (recommended). Papers may contain up to 8 pages, subject to an additional publication fee of EUR 30 + VAT for each extra page. Papers longer than 8 pages will not be accepted for publication;
• comply with all IEEE formatting requirements;
• be submitted in PDF format (A4).

Important: Do not add page numbers, headers or footers (other than the required IEEE copyright notice described below).

All accepted papers will be checked for originality using the IEEE CrossCheck plagiarism detection service. Papers found to contain plagiarism or excessive textual overlap may be excluded from publication in accordance with IEEE publication policies.

At least one author of each accepted paper must complete the conference registration (regular or student) in order for the paper to be included in the conference proceedings.

2. Add the IEEE Copyright Notice

Before creating the final PDF, add the appropriate IEEE copyright notice to the bottom left corner of the first page.

Use one of the following copyright notices:

• All authors are employed by the U.S. Government:
  U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright
• All authors are employed by a Crown government (United Kingdom, Canada or Australia):
  979-8-3195-2769-1/26/$31.00 ©2026 Crown
• All authors are employed by the European Union:
  979-8-3195-2769-1/26/$31.00 ©2026 European Union
• All other papers:
  979-8-3195-2769-1/26/$31.00 ©2026 IEEE

Note: In the vast majority of cases, authors should use the last copyright notice.

If you are uncertain which notice applies to your paper, please contact the INDEL 2026 Publication Chair:
cedomir.zeljkovic@etf.unibl.org

MS Word users

Insert the copyright notice using Insert → Text Box, remove the border of the text box and place it at the bottom left corner of the first page.

LaTeX users

Insert the following commands before \begin{document} (example for the standard IEEE copyright):

\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
\IEEEpubid{\makebox[\columnwidth]{979-8-3195-2769-1/26/\$31.00~\copyright~2026 IEEE\hfill}
\hspace{\columnsep}\makebox[\columnwidth]{}}

3. Verify Your Paper Using IEEE PDF eXpress

Before submitting the final manuscript, verify that your PDF is fully compliant with IEEE Xplore requirements by using the IEEE PDF eXpress service.

• Visit the IEEE PDF eXpress website.
• Create an account (or log in if you already have one).
• Conference ID: 70023X
• Upload your manuscript and complete the PDF verification process.

Important: Add the copyright notice to your paper before checking it with IEEE PDF eXpress.

Only PDFs that successfully pass the IEEE PDF eXpress verification should be submitted.

Any modification of the PDF after successful verification (including page numbers, headers, footers, copyright notice or watermarks) may invalidate IEEE Xplore compatibility.

4. Submit the Camera-Ready Paper via EasyChair

Log in to your EasyChair account and open your existing submission.

Upload the verified camera-ready PDF by updating your current submission. Do not create a new submission.

If necessary, update the submission metadata in EasyChair (paper title, abstract and list of authors) so that they are fully consistent with the information provided in the camera-ready paper.

Please ensure that the uploaded file is exactly the same PDF that successfully passed the IEEE PDF eXpress verification.

5. Complete the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (eCF)

For every accepted paper, one author must complete the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form.

The IEEE eCF is integrated into EasyChair.

After uploading the camera-ready paper, open your submission and select the IEEE Copyright Form link. You will be automatically redirected to the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form.

Follow the instructions to complete the copyright transfer.

Once the form has been successfully completed, EasyChair will automatically record its status. No separate upload of the signed copyright form is required.

Please ensure that the paper title, author names and other bibliographic information entered into the IEEE eCF are identical to those in the final camera-ready paper.

Important Notes

• Papers that do not satisfy the IEEE PDF eXpress requirements will not be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore.
• The IEEE Electronic Copyright Form must be be completed before the publication deadline.
• Only papers for which at least one author has completed the required conference registration will be included in the conference proceedings.
• Failure to submit the camera-ready paper, complete the IEEE copyright transfer or satisfy the registration requirements by the specified deadlines may result in exclusion of the paper from the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore.
