  Track co-chairs: Carlos Eduardo Pantoja (Brazil), Elena Yan (France), Nilson Mori Lazarin (Brazil)

The Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers for each of the above technical tracks should be submitted to the dedicated WiP Track (in the system they start with WiP-).

Regular Tracks and Special Sessions:

The regular tracks of the conference include, but are not limited to, the topics specified in the CFP. The special sessions have specialized focus areas; check the respective Special Session CFPs.

Prospective authors are invited to electronically submit regular papers on their work in English. Submit the full paper using the following layout. The limitation is to 6 total pages, including the paper title, authors, and affiliations, figures, and references (maximum size 2MB).

Authors are requested to prepare the manuscripts in the IEEE two-column format template and to convert them to PDF. No other format, either in the submission or the final version, can be accepted. The IEEE two-column format template can be downloaded from this link.

All papers are to be presented in person. For the presentation, see details in the paper presentation section.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore online digital library.

Work-In-Progress (WiP) Papers:

The submissions in the Work-in-Progress papers category describe research that has not yet produced the results required for a regular paper but that, due to its novelty and potential impact, deserves to be shared with the community at an early stage. These submissions need to follow the guidelines for the regular and special sessions, but are limited to four (4) pages (total length including references).

No additional pages can be bought for WiP papers.

All WiP papers are to be presented in person. For the presentation, see details in the paper presentation section.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore online digital library.

The template used for WiP papers is the same as for the regular and special session sessions.

WiP papers are to be submitted to the relevant WiP tracks in the submission system (starting with WiP-).

Call for Special Sessions

Special Sessions

Special sessions provide the opportunity to focus in detail on emerging topics, which are not reflected in the list of conference main technical tracks or represent a specific working field where researchers would like to meet and discuss advances. Sessions focused on reporting innovations and breakthroughs in highly specialized topic areas (within the conference’s scope) will be organized. These sessions will broaden the knowledge base of attendees, helping them stay updated with recent advances in mechatronics. The organizing committee invites professionals in the areas of mechatronics to propose special sessions (SSs) to be held at the conference.

Once approved, the Organizers will publicize the Special Session among researchers and practitioners in the field and attract a sufficient number of papers. Papers submitted to special sessions will undergo the same review process as regular papers. The special session organizers of the respective special session are responsible for organizing the review process, assuring at least three reviews per paper. This includes selection of reviewers from their peers.

Conflict of Interest

Before starting the review process, SS organizers must explicitly declare papers which present a conflict of interest for them. A conflict of interest arises where the judgement of a paper’s quality can be influenced by the organizers being authors or knowing some of the authors. To ensure independent reviews, this conflict must be marked as such in the submission system and the SS Co-Chairs notified so that they can arrange the review process.

Restrictions

During the review process, Special Session Organizers must take into account that:

1. An individual cannot be (co-)author of more than two papers submitted to the same Special Session.
2. Papers from organizers cannot exceed 60% of the contents of the Special Session.

Session Chairs

When a SS is finally accepted by the conference, SS organizers will serve as Session chairs in the conference. In some extenuating circumstances, Technical Program Chairs and Conference General Chairs might take up the full control of appointing the Session Chairs, should the SS organizers be unable to participate in the conference.

Proposal Content

The special session’s proposal content should include the following information (as mentioned in the MS word template):

1. Title of the Special Session.
2. Brief description of the area of concern (~100 words), with special emphasis on why this is an interesting and significant topic.
3. Name and contact information of 2 to 3 special session organizers (multi-nationals preferred and multi-institutional mandatory), who are willing to promote and organize a sufficient amount of quality submissions to the special session. Please also indicate the background of the organizers.
4. A list of potential authors and their affiliations.
5. A list of potential reviewers and their affiliations (20 minimum).

Call for Tutorials

The conference will offer all ICIT 27 participants several high-quality tutorials on the latest trends in Industrial Technology, Industrial Electronics, and Industrial Informatics.

Potential tutorial speakers are asked to submit a proposal using the tutorial proposal template.

Proposal Content

The tutorial proposal content should include the following information (as mentioned in the MS Word template):

1. Title of the Tutorial
2. Information on Presenters
3. An outline with a brief description of the area, topics, and relevance to ICIT.
4. Brief info on the presenter(s).

Successful tutorial proposers will be notified as soon as possible and will be asked to prepare and submit a PDF electronic version of their presentation materials. The conference organizers reserve the right to make the final decision on including the tutorial in the conference program based on the submitted final materials.

Proposing a tutorial? Check the conference important dates.

Manuscript Submission

All submissions must be uploaded through “IEEE IES Conferences Community System’s Paper Submission Website” following the schedule given in important dates. Each submission will be reviewed by three independent reviewers using a single blind peer review process, and will be screened for plagiarism and duplicate publication. The accepted papers are to be presented in the conference, and will be hosted on IEEE Xplore, subject to formatting and copyright requirements.

Prospective authors are invited to electronically submit regular papers of their work in English. Submit the full paper using the following layout. Limitation to 6 full pages, including paper title, authors and affiliations, figures and references (maximum size 2MB). Authors are requested to prepare the manuscripts in the IEEE two-column format template and to translate it in PDF. No other format in the submission and in the final version can be accepted. The IEEE two-column format template can be downloaded from “IEEE’s Manuscript Template for Conferences Website”.
