Author Information

All papers (journal track, late breaking track, and work-in-progress track) must be submitted through the hotCRP management tool from the corresponding web page of each conference (CASES, CODES+ISSS, EMSOFT). These links will be available soon.

ESWEEK has three publication venues:

  1. Journal track: Full length papers describe mature work and are published in IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD).
  2. 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).
  3. Work-in-Progress (WiP) track: WiP papers present not-yet-mature but promising research work and are published as extended abstracts in the ESWEEK Proceedings of the respective conferences (CPS).

These published papers are mutually exclusive, i.e., a work can only be in submission to one of the three categories. Authors of WiP papers have the opportunity to publish the extended final form of their work when it has matured in any conference or journal they prefer. 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.
  • A paper presentation at one of the conferences.
  • 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 full-length papers are submitted for publication in IEEE TCAD and must be in PDF format and follow 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 and 10pt font size format for the initial submission. References, appendix, etc. are all counted towards the 12-pages 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. All full-length papers go through two stages of review. If the paper is recommended for revision after the first stage 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 and published in IEEE TCAD (12-pages limit, free of charge).

Full-length papers that cannot be accepted for ESWEEK after the second review stage will continue to be reviewed as a regular IEEE TCAD journal submission (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). Authors of full-length papers that have been rejected in the first review stage have the option to transform their paper into a WiP extended abstract and submit it to the WiP category.

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 an LB paper that has been rejected in the first review round have the option to transform their paper into a WiP extended abstract and submit it to the WiP category.

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.

Work-in-Progress (WiP) Track and Other Papers in ESWEEK (Special session papers, Tutorial abstracts, Keynote abstracts, Education class abstracts)

ESWEEK accepted WiP papers and other papers, including Special Session papers, Keynote/Tutorial abstracts, etc., are published in the ESWEEK Proceedings of the respective conferences. Papers to appear in the ESWEEK Proceedings must be in PDF format and follow the IEEE 2-column 10-point Conference Proceedings guidelines. See the instructions with Latex and MS Word templates here.

Page limits:

  • WiP papers should not exceed 1 page. WiP submissions must be in PDF format. Please make sure that the paper title starts with a “Work-in-Progress:” prefix. A double-blind review process will be enforced. Authors must not reveal their identity directly or indirectly. Authors of an accepted WiP paper will present a poster of their work, and a lightning talk at ESWEEK.
  • Special Session papers: If a single paper is published for the whole session, then the page limit is 10 pages; this is the preferred mode. If multiple papers are published, then the page limit is 4 pages for each paper.
  • Keynote/Tutorials/Education Class Extended Abstract should not exceed 2 pages.
  • References, appendix, etc. are all counted towards the respective page limit.
