Submissions and Publications

All submissions are processed electronically via the PaperCept paper management system. All papers will be peer reviewed. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the digital conference proceedings and made available on IEEE Xplore.

INITIAL PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Papers must be submitted electronically for peer review through PaperCept by 22 January 2019 05 February 2019. In PaperCept, click on the MED 2019 link “Submit a Contribution to MED 2019” and follow the steps. NOTE: If you do not have a PIN, you must register one first. The paper format must follow IEEE conference paper submission rules (two-columns, 10 point, Times New Roman, US letter size). Templates are available from the following links: LaTeX or MS-Word. You can either submit your paper in PDF format or else use PaperCept itself for compliant PDF conversion from LaTeX and MS Word documents.

The maximum number of pages per paper is six, including illustrations and references. Please note that pages over this limit will incur extra-page fees at the time of final submission and that in any case not more than a maximum of eight pages in total is permitted. All papers will be peer reviewed and acceptance notified by 18 April 2019.

FINAL PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Final versions of accepted papers are to be uploaded electronically by 15 May 2019. The submission of a paper implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference.

Thus, in order to be able to upload your final paper, one of the authors needs to register beforehand
When registering, please ensure that all the relevant information on the final paper(s) to be uploaded is entered correctly in the registration form. 

One full registration can cover up to two final paper uploads. One student registration covers only one final paper upload. Additional charges apply if these limits are exceeded.
