When submitting your abstract, please help this process by selecting the topic area that best matches your work.


Abstract Preparation

Authors are invited to submit a 1 Page Abstract, reporting original research of theoretical or applied nature using the online submission system, ePapers. Abstracts should be no more than one page of text and figures in length with references up to one additional half-page. The initial submission should explicitly include the primary results and findings, emphasizing new advances, theories and/or applications so that the Technical Program Committee will be able to understand the originality and the value of the work. 

A submission implies a willingness to register and present the work, if the abstract is accepted for presentation at the conference. Abstracts accepted by the Conference Technical Program Committee are expected to register for the conference and present their work.

Proceedings Paper Submission: Presenters can submit a proceeding paper for the Conference Proceedings. Authors must present the work at the conference in the specified format (talk and/or poster) if they wish to publish a final paper in the Conference Proceedings. The proceeding paper must be at least 2 – 4 pages long. Proceeding paper submissions will be reviewed with automated tools for plagiarism, which includes checking against self-similarity to the author’s previously published work. For your convenience, the IEEE Style Guide and Conference Paper Templates in various formats are available here. The proceeding paper deadline is July 12, 2025.

Important Procedure

It is required that all Abstract PDF submissions be IEEE Xplore compliant. To help you meet this requirement, you must FIRST check to ensure that your PDF file is compliant by using the IEEE PDF eXpress system BEFORE you submit your paper to the abstract submission web site.

  1. Go to the IEEE PDF eXpress web site
  2. Use this conference ID: 61233X
  3. Use PDF eXpress to check or create your PDF file
  4. Once you have an IEEE compliant PDF file, proceed to the IEEE ISAF-ICE-ISIF-PFM 2025 Submission Portal.

NOTE: checking your PDF file for compliance and submitting your Initial Final Paper for review are two separate procedures.
