Late News Submissions are Now Open!!

• Late news submissions are accepted after the regular submission process window has closed.
• Submissions will be reviewed on a first-come first-served basis as we build out the program, and will be included as space permits.
• We encourage submissions of full regular papers and presentation only abstracts and panels (e.g., industry presentations / panels), following the instructions below.
• Final poster or slide upload for all submission types is required by the same poster/slide deadline for all authors/presenters, including those from both the regular and late news submission windows.

Instructions for Presentation Only Submissions

• Presentation only submissions provide an opportunity to present at WPTCE without publishing a paper. These are good for:
  • Industry presentations, invited presentations, those interested in participating on suggested panel topics
  • Any contributor to present results that are recently published in journals or patents that have not been presented yet at a conference.
• Presentation proposals
  • Submitted through the same submission portal as paper submissions

    • A summary/abstract of your proposed presentation or a panel topic you would like to participate on. Include any related images or links to associated published papers or patents.
    • A short bio of the presenter / panelist. Note that (unlike paper submissions), presentation proposals are not blind reviews.
  • Select the “Presentation Only” option when prompted in the submission form.
  • Accepted presentations will be assigned as appropriate to either a poster or oral/panel session.
  • Accepted presentation-only contributions are not tied to a paper submission and will NOT be published to IEEE Xplore.
• Final poster or slide upload (to be submitted by the poster/slide deadline)
  • Final poster or slide deck must be uploaded prior to the conference.

Instructions for Paper Submissions

• Paper submissions are for authors that would like their papers published with IEEE Xplore. For accepted papers, authors will submit both a final version of the paper that will be uploaded to IEEE Xplore and either a poster or a slide deck depending on the type of session the paper is assigned to at the conference. Both the full paper and the poster or slides will be made available to conference attendees.
