STEPS TO CREATE CAMERA READY PAPER:

Step1:

Add the IEEE Copyright Notice in the footer section at the bottom of the first page of your paper, prior to creating the final PDF version. Choose the appropriate notice from the following:

a. For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, the copyright notice is: U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright.

b. For papers in which all authors are employed by a Crown government (UK, Canada, and Australia), the copyright notice is: 979-8-3315-9773-3/25/$31.00 ©2025 Crown

c. For papers in which all authors are employed by the European Union, the copyright notice is: 979-8-3315-9773-3/25/$31.00 ©2025 European Union.

d. For all other papers the copyright notice is: 979-8-3315-9773-3/25/$31.00 ©2025 IEEE.

Step2:

All papers submitted for publication must meet the IEEE standards. Access to PDF eXpress Plus site, the IEEE’s online file conversion/PDF validation tool, will assist authors in preparing suitable electronic files of their final papers. PDF eXpress Plus helps authors convert their papers into IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF files (conversion function) or to check their own PDF files for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF validation function).

All final manuscripts must be generated using the PDF Xpress tool. Submit your final, ready-for-publication paper at https://ieee-pdf-express.org/. If you are a new user to IEEE PDF eXpress, you must set up an account before uploading your paper.

To generate the IEEE Xplore compatible PDF file of your paper, follow these steps:

• Create your IEEE PDF eXpress Plus account: https://ieee-pdf-express.org/
• Conference ID: 66933X
• The first time you access the system, please follow the link to new user.

Please note that to access the service, you need to allow the use of cookies from the PDF eXpress web site. Once you have registered as a new user:

• Upload the source file (containing your paper) for conversion.
• Receive by e-mail the IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF of your paper.

The certified acceptable file you receive from PDF eXpress will be given a filename in the form PID101.pdf. You should rename this exact file to conform to the following naming convention: CISCON2025paperID.pdf

Step3:

IEEE policy requires that every submitted paper must be accompanied by a signed IEEE Copyright Form before publication can occur. The electronic copyright submission form will walk you through the steps to complete and submit the IEEE copyright form for your paper. Only one form is required per paper. You will find the link to the e-COPYRIGHT FORM once you log in to the CMT portal.
