Author Information

ESWEEK has three publication venues:

  1. Full-length papers describe mature work and are published in ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS).
  2. Late Breaking (LB) Results papers disseminate complete and mature works written in a condensed form and are published in IEEE Embedded Systems Letters (ESL).
  3. Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers present not-yet-mature but promising research work and are published in the ESWEEK Proceedings of respective conferences.

These published papers are mutually exclusive, i.e., a work can only be in submission to one of the three categories. Authors of WiP papers have the opportunity to publish the extended final form of their work when it has matured in any conference or journal they prefer. Special Session papers, Keynote/Tutorial abstracts, etc. are also published in the ESWEEK Proceedings of respective conferences. All these publications will be listed as regular publications within the ACM and/or IEEE digital libraries.

For publication of all accepted papers, in both the TECS/ESL journal and ESWEEK proceedings categories, the following is required:

  • One full, regular ESWEEK registration per paper
  • A paper presentation at one of the conferences
  • A poster presentation

To guarantee the same identity of the main author in the review system and in the final journal’s submission system, the corresponding author must provide his/her ScholarOne account name as well as his/her ORCID ID (see https://orcid.org) during the submission process. If you do not have such accounts yet, please set them up first.

Full-length Papers

ESWEEK full-length papers are submitted for publication in ACM TECS. Therefore, full-length paper submissions must be in PDF format and follow ACM TECS submission guidelines (https://dl.acm.org/journal/tecs/author-guidelines). Papers should not exceed 20 pages in ACM Transactions one-column format for the initial submission. References, appendix, etc. are all counted towards the 20-page limit. A blind review process will be enforced. Authors must not reveal their identity directly or indirectly. If the paper is recommended for revision after the first round of reviews, then the revised manuscript should not exceed 25 pages in the same format. Papers passing the first stage of reviews will be asked to revise their work based on reviewer comments within a short time frame of around three weeks and enter the second stage of reviews. For details about the schedule, see the important dates. Accepted full-length articles will be presented at the respective ESWEEK conferences.

Those revised papers that cannot be accepted for ESWEEK will continue to be reviewed as part of a regular ACM TECS journal submission process until a final decision is made. Authors of full-length papers that have been rejected in the first review round have the option to transform their paper into a WiP paper and submit it to the WiP category.

Late-Breaking (LB) Result Papers

ESWEEK LB papers are submitted for publication in IEEE ESL with submission format indicated at https://ieee-ceda.org/publication/esl-paper-submissions. The submissions should not exceed four pages, and a double-blind review process will be enforced. Therefore, authors must not reveal their identity directly or indirectly. Authors of an LB paper that has been rejected in the first review round have the option to transform their paper into a WiP paper and submit it to the WiP category.

LB paper submissions that pass the first stage of reviews will be asked to revise their work based on reviewer comments within a short time frame of around two weeks and enter the second stage of reviews. Authors of accepted LB papers will present a poster of their work, and a lightning talk at ESWEEK. Please note that accepted ESL papers should also be accompanied by a 3-minute video preview, as instructions indicated here (https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-journal-article/prepare-supplementary-materials/). Those revised papers that cannot be accepted for ESWEEK will continue to be reviewed as part of a regular IEEE ESL journal submission process until a final decision is made. For details about the schedule, see the important dates.

Work-in-Progress (WiP) and Other Papers in ESWEEK

ESWEEK accepted WiP papers and other papers including Special Session papers, Keynote/Tutorial abstracts, etc. are published in the ESWEEK Proceedings of respective conferences. Papers to appear in the ESWEEK Proceedings must be in PDF format and follow the ACM Conference Proceedings guidelines. See the templates for Latex and MS Word.

Page limits:

  • WiP papers should not exceed 2 pages.
  • Special Session paper should not exceed 10 pages if one paper per session (required), or 4 pages for an individual paper (exception).
  • Keynote/Tutorials/Education Class Extended Abstract should not exceed 2 pages.
  • References, appendix, etc. are all counted towards the respective page limit.

WiP submissions must be in PDF format. Please make sure that the paper title starts with a “Work-in-Progress:” prefix. For formatting instructions and templates, please check ACM web site (https://authors.acm.org/proceedings). A double-blind review process will be enforced. Authors must not reveal their identity directly or indirectly. Authors of an accepted WiP paper will present a poster of their work, and a lightning talk at ESWEEK.
