Types of Contributed Paper
SII2025 will accept three types of contributed papers and one type of late-breaking report. The three types of papers and late-breaking report are as follows:
Regular paper:
Paper length is usually 4-6 pages. 2 additional pages are allowed but will incur an extra charge (the maximum could be eight pages).
Special Session paper:
The format and review process are identical to that for regular papers. The main difference from the regular paper review process is that the authors must contact a Special Session organizer, receive a code from the organizer, and indicate this session code when submitting the paper.
Short paper with Video attachment:
The paper length is limited to 2 pages. Short papers will be reviewed in the same way as regular and special session papers. In addition to the manuscript, authors must include a video attachment when submitting. The video format should be “mp4,” and the size should be less than 20MB.
Late-breaking report:
Paper length is limited to 1 page. Late-breaking reports will not be peer-reviewed and will not be included in IEEE Xplore.
All proceedings will be published on IEEE Xplore, and indexed by Web of Science and Scopus.
Templates and Submission Procedure
Regular, Special Session, and Short papers submitted to SII2025 will undergo a peer-review process. A manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers who will provide detailed comments. Once the submission is accepted, authors are required to address all review comments and submit a revised ("camera-ready") version. The review process is managed by the Program Committee. Regular, Special Session, and Short papers will be included in IEEE Xplore when accepted. However, video attachments of short papers will not be included.
Regular, Special Session, and Short papers will be reviewed using a single-blind review process: authors will declare their names and affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see. On the other hand, reviewers will not know the identity of other reviewers, nor will the authors know who has reviewed their manuscript.
Authors must use the template provided in the electronic manuscript submission system. The template for "A4" size paper should be used for all types of papers including the late-breaking report.
The manuscript submission website will require that authors submit an abstract and make any final changes to the author list as well as the title of the paper before uploading the final ”camera ready” manuscript.
All authors and co-authors must be registered in the electronic manuscript submission system. It is the corresponding author’s responsibility to ensure that a complete author list and a correct title are being entered. This information will be used for the conference program and the proceedings.
Submission procedure
Authors should adhere to the following steps for submitting the paper (for initial submission):

Ask each of your co-authors to do the same (if they do not yet have a PIN in the system), and record the authors' PINs (this information is needed for manuscript processing purposes).
