All papers (journal track and late breaking track) must be submitted through the hotCRP management tool from the corresponding web page of each conference (CASES, CODES, EMSOFT). These links will be available soon.
ESWEEK has two publication venues:
- Journal track: Full length papers describe mature work and are published in IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD).
- Late Breaking (LB) track: LB papers disseminate complete and mature works written in a condensed form and are published in IEEE Embedded Systems Letters (ESL).
These published papers are mutually exclusive, i.e., a work can only be in submission to one of the two categories. Special Session papers, Keynote abstracts, Tutorial abstracts, and Education class abstracts are also published in the ESWEEK Proceedings of the respective conferences (CPS). All these publications will be listed as regular publications within the ACM and/or IEEE digital libraries.
For publication of all accepted papers, IEEE TCAD, IEEE ESL, and ESWEEK proceedings categories, the following is required:
- One full, regular, ESWEEK registration per paper, not a student registration. Each accepted Journal-track paper (IEEE TCAD or IEEE ESL) must be accompanied by one 3-day conference registration (adding other events such as tutorials, workshops and symposia is optional). If you have 2 accepted papers, two 3-day conference registrations are required, and so forth.
- ESWEEK is a conference held exclusively in person. Therefore, it is mandatory that at least one author of each accepted paper physically attends the session where the paper is presented. If none of the authors present the paper in person, the paper will be removed from the published (journal) proceedings (despite full payment at the speaker rate) – non-author presenters are not allowed.
- A poster presentation.
To guarantee the same identity of the main author in the review system and in the final journal’s submission system, the corresponding author must provide her/his ScholarOne account name as well as her/his ORCID number (see https://orcid.org) during the submission process. If you do not have such accounts yet, please set them up first. For the published version, each author must provide her/his ORCID number.
Journal Track Papers
ESWEEK’2026 full-length papers are submitted for publication in IEEE TCAD and must be in PDF format and follow the IEEE TCAD submission guidelines (https://ieee-ceda.org/publications/tcad/tcad-paper-submissions). Papers should not exceed 12 pages in the IEEE transactions two-column format for the initial submission. References, appendix, etc. are all counted towards the 12-page limit. A double-blind review process will be enforced (in case your paper has been published as a preprint or as a research report, please change the title so that your preprint cannot be tracked.) Authors must not reveal their identity directly or indirectly.
If you are using LaTeX for your paper writing, the correct settings are accomplished by using the following documentclass options:
All full-length papers go through two stages of review. If the paper is recommended for revision after the first round of reviews, then the revised manuscript should not exceed 12 pages in the same format. Papers passing the first stage of reviews will be asked to revise their work based on reviewer comments within a short time frame of around three weeks and enter the second stage of reviews. For details about the schedule, see the important dates. Accepted full-length articles will be presented at the respective ESWEEK conferences.
Those revised papers that cannot be accepted for ESWEEK will continue to be reviewed as part of a regular IEEE TCAD journal submission process (pending a decision from the TPC chairs), until a final decision is made. Contrary to the papers accepted at ESWEEK, those papers reviewed as regular IEEE TCAD papers will be subject to the general page charge policy of IEEE (see paragraph below).
The following does not apply to full-length papers accepted at the three conferences (for which the page limit is 12, free of charge) but only to papers not accepted after the second review stage and and continuing in TCAD. IEEE TCAD page charge policy (https://ieee-ceda.org/publications/tcad/tcad-paper-submissions): After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the Author’s institution will be approached with a request to pay a voluntary charge of $110 per page to cover part of the cost of publication. If the voluntary page charge is not honored, IEEE will charge a mandatory page charge of $175 per page for each page in excess of 9. Detailed instructions will accompany the page proofs. The color charge fee structure has been simplified to a flat $275 USD per printed color figure.
Late-Breaking (LB) Result Track Papers
ESWEEK LB papers are submitted for publication in IEEE ESL with submission format indicated at https://ieee-ceda.org/publication/esl/esl-paper-submission. The submissions should not exceed 4 pages (IEEE transactions two-column and 10pt font size format), and a double-blind review process will be enforced (in case your paper has been published as a preprint or as a research report, please change the title so that your preprint cannot be tracked). Therefore, authors must not reveal their identity directly or indirectly. All LB papers go through one stage of review. LB paper submissions that pass the first stage of reviews will be asked to revise their work based on reviewer comments within a short time frame of around two weeks.
Authors of accepted LB papers will present a poster of their work, and a lightning talk at ESWEEK. Please note that ESL policy requires all accepted papers to be accompanied by a 3-minute video preview, as instructions indicated here (https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-journal-article/prepare-supplementary-materials). Those revised papers that cannot be accepted for ESWEEK will continue to be reviewed as part of a regular IEEE ESL journal submission (pending a decision from the TPC chairs), until a final decision is made. For details about the schedule, see the important dates.
Extended Abstracts
ESWEEK accepts 2-page Extended Abstracts for several of its outlets, such as for Special Session papers, Keynote/Tutorial abstracts, invited Extended Abstracts, etc. These will be published in the ESWEEK Proceedings of the respective conferences.
An Extended Abstract should be formatted in two pages using the two-column IEEE conference layout.
Special Session Papers
Special Session papers are either 10 pages (one joint paper) or 2-page Extended Abstracts (per presentation) using IEEE conference format.
