ICMTS 2026 Author Information

This page is intended for those who are interested in publishing their good work at ICMTS. First, you would write and submit an abstract. If your abstract is accepted, you will need to write a full manuscript, which IEEE calls an “extended abstract”. In addition, you’ll need to make and present a talk at the conference, Mar 23-26, 2026.

Each of those activities is discussed below.

Writing Abstracts (submission deadline: Nov 15, 2025)

Example abstracts:   

Abstracts are to have no more than four pages in PDF format (font-embedded):

1. First page:
   • Title
   • Authors -- names, affiliations, contact email for the author to whom correspondence should be sent
   • A short summary of the work, up to 50 words
2. Second page: Text describing your good work
3. Third (and maybe fourth) page: Figures, graphs, tables, ...

Please remember that the Technical Program Committee must read and evaluate dozens of these abstracts within a short timeframe. They greatly appreciate any abstract that gets its point across quickly and efficiently, staying within the four-page limit.

Writing Manuscripts (final manuscript deadline: Feb 17, 2026)

This section is still under construction

Congratulations on your abstract being selected for ICMTS 2026!! This section provides the information you need to write and to submit your manuscript.

First, each author must sign the electronic IEEE copyright form NEED A LINK. The deadline to do this is .

Your manuscript must be no longer than six pages long and uploaded to PDF eXpress by Feb 17, 2026. Failure to meet this deadline may result in the paper be labeled as 'withdrawn' from ICMTS 2026. All manuscripts will be collected from PDF eXpress and

IEEE provides lots of great resources for authors of technical papers like yours. Some useful links are provided below, plus you are encouraged to look through the other IEEE author resources yourself.

• IEEE Author Center for conferences
• IEEE MS Word and LaTeX manuscript templates for conferences
• IEEE eXpress conference publishing
• IEEE Style Manual
• IEEE Guide to References

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a global non-profit organization that provides a free and unique ID code for each author. Having a unique ID avoids mix-ups about who you are (e.g., is "Brad Smith" the same person as "B. Smith"? How about "B. P. Smith"?).

Helpful hint: Use the "cite this" button in IEEE Xplore® to get the text needed to reference a paper. This also provides the reference's Document Identifier (DOI), a unique code for each publication. Using "cite this" is highly encouraged for the references in your ICMTS manuscript.

Making Tutorial Slides (to the Tutorials Chair by: )

This section is still under construction

Each tutorial is a maximum of 50 minutes long, to be followed by 10 minutes of questions and answers.

Your organization might require that you use their presentation template, which is fine because ICMTS does not have any specific template to use.

Please send your final slides to the Tutorials Chair by . They will be printed into a book that will be distributed to all who register for the Tutorials.

Making Technical Presentation Slides (to the Technical Program Chair by: )

This section is still under construction

Each technical talk is a maximum of minutes long, to be followed by minutes of questions and answers.

Please send your final slides to the Technical Program Chair by . They will not be distributed to the attendees, as IEEE considers that be re-publishing the same material as in the Proceedings. It is possible, however, that attendees might ask you for a copy. It is then your choice whether or not to send them your slides.

You are highly encouraged to watch the video below before you prepare your slides.

Highlights of the video:

• CONTENT: Know the story or message you're trying to communicate and stick to it. Discard all information that does not contribute to that message.
• CONTENT: You are an expert on the topic (which is why you are presenting) but assume that the audience is not. Clearly explain all acronyms, concepts, theorems, etc.
• SLIDES: Use a font that is large enough to be visible at the back of the room. That means nothing smaller than 18pt font, preferrably larger. If the audience cannot read your slides, your message will be lost.
• SLIDES: If your content doesn't fit with 18pt or larger font, you have too much content in your slide. This rule also applies to all figures, graphs, tables, etc. If you want the audience to be able to read it, use AT LEAST 18pt font.
• SLIDES: Use color in your slides sparingly. Over-use of color can be distracting.

Giving Your Presentation

This section is still under construction

You are highly encouraged to watch the video below before you prepare your slides.

Highlights of the video:

• Face the audience as you speak, not the screen. There is probably a microphone at the podium so facing the audience also keeps you pointing at the mic. This keeps your volume constant, making it easier for the audience to understand your speech. If the audience cannot hear or understand your talk, your message will be lost.
• Point at things on the screen using the laptop in front of you instead of a physical laser pointer. Control-L in PowerPoint gets you a "laser pointer" on the screen.
• Speak clearly and slowly. Remember that a large majority of the ICMTS audience are not native English speakers. The audio in the room will probably make it even more difficult for them to understand you. As the speaker, you must overcome the audio issues and even your own accent (true for both native and non-native English speakers) to help the audience understand your message.
