IEEE Tracks: Tracks A, B, C, and D focus on digital technologies, computational modelling, and engineering innovation aligned with IEEE research areas. Selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE proceedings. Selected papers for track E (Non-IEEE) will be invited to submit extended versions of their manuscripts for consideration in international academic journals. The publication committee will attempt to find an appropriate journal, but publication cannot be guaranteed due to potential financial or technical challenges.
