IEEE Tracks: Three tracks focus on digital and technological advancements, in line with IEEE publications. Selected papers will be published in the IEEE proceedings.
Non-IEEE Track: A new track for research outside digital/technological fields, to attract more diverse submissions.
Journal Availability for Non-IEEE Papers: The committee will attempt to find an appropriate journal, but publication cannot be guaranteed due to potential financial or technical challenges.
