To ensure the accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore, the camera-ready versions of the papers and all additional documents (the IEEE Copyright and Consent Form and Responses to Reviewers Comments) must be uploaded to EasyChair by July 20, 2024, as described in Step 6.

However, there are few steps that must be taken before final submission:

Step 1. Make sure that your paper adheres to the IEEE standard and it follows the IEEE conference template,

Step 2. The paper is revised taking into account the suggestions made by the reviewers. If you got comments regarding the English language please have your paper proof read by a native English speaker, or seek online services to improve the language of your paper.

Step 3. The paper must be unpublished and must not be submitted or under review for publication elsewhere. IEEE policy regarding plagiarism and duplicate submission/publication will be strictly enforced. Furthermore, make sure that your paper is substantially different from (your) previously published work. This can be checked using eg. Ephorus (http://www.ephorus.com/).

Step 4. Proofread your source document thoroughly to confirm that it will require no revision.

Step 5. Add the copyright notice at the bottom of the first page of your source document.

• 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
• For papers in which all authors are employed by a Crown government (UK, Canada, and Australia), the copyright notice is:
