These Instructions apply both to Authors, who are publishing a Formal Paper and presenting it at ISPCE and Presenters, who will be presenting a Presentation (without Formal Paper) at ISPCE. Please note that BOTH an Author of an accepted Formal Paper AND a Presenter of an accepted Presentation (without Formal Paper) MUST register for and attend the symposium AND present their work for it to be published in the proceedings. Works that do not meet these requirements will not be presented at the symposium and Formal Papers will not be published in IEEE Xplore. No exceptions. Cooperation from all involved in the 2022 ISPCE will allow for the volunteer Technical Program Committee members and volunteer Peer Reviewers to assemble the best technical program possible. Thank you in advance!
General: Reviewable Presentation & Formal Paper Preparation
The symposium caters to both practitioners and academics. For this purpose, the format of the submissions is divided into two categories: Presentation (without Formal Paper) and Formal Paper (with Presentation (of Formal Paper)), both having different submission requirements. Please note, as initiated at the 2014 ISPCE, the 2022 Paper and Presentation submission process has been aligned with the process more commonly used by other IEEE symposia and conferences. Please read the following Author & Presenter Instructions carefully to ensure an accurate submission.
For Presentation (without Formal Paper) Submissions
We invite Presenters to submit an Abstract and Reviewable Presentation (without Formal Paper) using the online submission system, Microsoft CMT, for presentation at ISPCE 2022. The abstract should summarize the scope of the presentation, the primary results and findings, and be accompanied by a draft, reviewable Presentation for review. This material is needed by the first Author/Presenter deadline of May 25, 2022, so that the Technical Program Committee (TPC) will be able to understand the originality and the value of the work, and its appropriateness for ISPCE 2022. It will also allow for the TPC to make choices on program content based on the quality of submission, redundancy with similar submissions, etc., since it is anticipated that there will be more submissions than presentation time periods (slots).
Please note that a submission to ISPCE 2022 with confirmed acceptance implies your willingness to register and pay for the privilege of presenting your work in the form of a Formal Paper or a Presentation (without Formal Paper). Submitters of accepted Presentations (without Formal Paper) must submit the final version by July 15, 2022, register for the symposium, and attend to present their work.

For Formal Paper Submissions
Authors are invited to submit an Abstract and Reviewable Formal Paper reporting original research of theoretical or applied nature using the online submission system, Microsoft CMT. Incomplete submissions may be automatically rejected. The Abstract should summarize the scope of the paper and explicitly include the primary results and findings, emphasizing new advances, theories and/or applications. The Reviewable Formal Paper should contain enough content so that the Technical Program Committee will be able to understand the originality and the value of the work. It will also allow the Technical Program Committee to make choices on program content based on the quality of the submission, redundancy with similar submissions, etc., since it is anticipated that there will be more submissions than presentation time periods (slots).
Submissions not selected will be either redirected to ISPCE 2023 or other PSES forums, or held in reserve in case of late cancellations. A submission implies a willingness to register and present the work if the Formal Paper is accepted for presentation at the symposium. Authors must submit the final version of the Formal Paper, including a Presentation (of Formal Paper), by July 15, 2022, register for the symposium, and attend to present their work. For your convenience, the Style Manual from IEEE is linked here. In addition, please refer to the Paper Templates when preparing your manuscript. Formal Papers will be reviewed by the TPC in a double-blind peer review process. ISPCE 2022 publishes peer-reviewed papers, and our reviewers cannot be influenced by knowing the identity of the author (nor will the identity of the reviewer be shared with the author). Due to this double-blind peer review, please make sure that any documents submitted for review do not contain ANY personally identifiable information (i.e., name, affiliation, email address, phone numbers, IEEE member number, etc.), as the tracking will be done anonymously by Microsoft CMT. ONLY the final, formatted Formal Paper and Presentation (of Formal Paper) should contain personal information, not the initial submission. If you have questions regarding what is and is not personally identifiable information, please contact Shelby Lussier, the ISPCE 2022 Manager.
*The maximum length for final Formal Papers should be limited to 6 pages.**Accepted Papers will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library and indexed by El/Compendex.MI
Microsoft CMT Details and Author/Presenter Registration

If the abstract does not fit any of the topic areas listed, there will be a “Miscellaneous” track to choose.
