v Communications and networks
v Control and robotics
v Computer and software techniques
v Devices, Circuits, and Systems
v Signal theory and signal processing
v Power and energy circuits and
systems
Paper submission guidelines: Submitted papers must be unpublished and should not be submitted elsewhere at the same time.
Accepted papers should not exceed 6 pages in two-column IEEE Transactions style. Accepted papers longer than 4 pages will be charged
$100 for each extra page. Papers should be submitted as PDF files through the paper submission system (https://edas.info/N21433). All
