• A1 - Authors must submit their own original works only.

• A2 - Authors must not omit the main references done by others and related to their works.

• A3 - Authors must follow typesetting guidelines (templates) of the ISIF JAIF Journal or of the ISIF Fusion conference.

• A4 - Authors must agree with ISIF copyright agreement, once the paper is accepted for publication.

• A5 - Authors must employ professional language and they must avoid excessive verbosity that would dilute the technical clarity.

For the FUSION conferences, following guidelines also apply

• F1 Papers must be presented at the conference.
• F2 Critical technical comments of technical reviewers and the technical program committee must be adequately reflected in the final manuscript.

All papers must be formatted according to the IEEE Xplore template (letter size paper). Templates and other supporting files for various types of computers and operational systems can be downloaded using the following links:

• Fusion 2016 LaTeX template
• Usage instructions for LaTeX template
• Fusion 2016 Microsoft Word template

The initial submission of each paper for the review process consists of a unique file, in PDF format. The paper title and authors must match the information entered in the EDAS system. Papers should be strictly no fewer than 4 pages, and preferably no more than 8 pages in length. There will be a charge of € 100 for each additional page beyond 8 pages. Shorter submissions might be automatically rejected by the system, otherwise they will be rejected during the review process.

Note that the above length (4-8 pages) is based on the submission template adopted by the Fusion 2016 conference, which is available in different formats via the links above. Changes to the template formatting standards, such as modifying the font size (9 points for the abstract, 10 points for the text, etc.) will disqualify the submission.

Submission of final versions of accepted papers (i.e., camera-ready submissions) must include a copyright form. To prepare their copyright forms, authors should download the copyright form and perform either of the two alternatives for having it signed:

1. Print, manually sign, and scan the signed form.
2. Digitally sign the form (e.g. using Adobe Acrobat™)

After papers are accepted, a link will be made available to authors in EDAS by which completed copyright forms can be uploaded. There is no need to include the copyright form with the initial submission.

The conference proceedings will have its own formatting with respect to numbering and identification. Therefore, papers should not include page numbers or conference name.
