Author Information

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+ISSS, EMSOFT). These links will be available soon.

ESWEEK has two publication venues:

  1. Journal track: Full length papers describe mature work and are published in ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS).
  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).

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, ACM TECS, 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 (ACM TECS 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’2025 full-length papers are submitted for publication in ACM TECS and must be  in PDF format and follow the ACM TECS submission guidelines (https://dl.acm.org/journal/tecs/author-guidelines). Papers should not exceed 20 pages in ACM Transactions one-column format for the initial submission. References, appendix, etc. are all counted towards the 20-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:

\documentclass[manuscript,acmsmall,review,anonymous,screen]{acmart}

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 25 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 ACM TECS journal submission process (pending a decision from the TPC chairs), until a final decision is made.

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.
