Instructions for Preparing Manuscript for Submission

Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts (full papers) containing original contributions with sufficient detail for review. All submissions must be made through the CMT Paper Submission Portal for NCC 2027. The submitted manuscript must contain original contributions by the authors that have not been published or submitted elsewhere.

Paper Submission Link

No-show policy: All accepted papers must be presented in person. Substitutions for presentations are allowed only with prior approval from the TPC Chairs.

Registration: Each accepted paper should be covered by a full registration. One full registration will cover up to two accepted papers.

Please keep the following in mind while preparing your final manuscript.

• The manuscript must follow the standard IEEE conference template. It should not exceed six double-column pages, including references, with single line spacing, main text font size no smaller than 10 points, and at least 3/4-inch margins (approximately 18 mm).
• It should have no content written in the margins. In particular, no header, footer, or page numbers.
• The list of authors and their order are considered final upon submission and cannot be modified thereafter.
• NCC 2027 will have a double-blind review process. Therefore, names and affiliations of the authors should NOT be included in the paper. Please see below for more instructions in this regard.

All submissions must be made through the CMT Paper Submission Portal .

Important note: The reviewing process for NCC 2027 will be double-blind, where both the author and referee names will be hidden from each other. Note, however, that the Technical Program Committee Chairs will know the author identities to avoid conflicts of interest.

In order to effectively implement double-blind reviewing, no author names should be included in the submitted manuscript (PDF file). Moreover, no direct or indirect reference should be made that could reveal the identity of the authors.

Thus, the submission should certainly NOT contain the names of the authors, institution names, email IDs, etc. Authors must refer to their own prior work in the third person and should NOT include research grant/proposal numbers.

Any submission not meeting these requirements will be rejected without review.

Authors are encouraged to use LaTeX to format their papers, using the style file and following the example given below. Authors using Microsoft Word are encouraged to use standard IEEE conference templates from the following link: IEEE Conference Templates .

Authors using other means to prepare their manuscripts should adhere to the style shown in the example as closely as possible.
