PAPER SUBMISSION
Please read the paper submission guidelines (https://2024.ieeewcci.org/submission) before submitting your papers.
* Each paper should not reveal author's identities (double-blind review process).
* Papers will be checked for plagiarism. The Program Committee reserves the right to desk-reject a paper if it contains elements that are suspected to be plagiarized.
* Submissions should be original and not currently under review at another venue.
* Each paper is limited to 8 pages, including figures, tables, and references. A maximum of two extra pages per paper is allowed (i.e, up to 10 pages), at an additional charge of $100 per extra page.
* All papers must be submitted through the IEEE WCCI 2024 online submission system. * For special session papers, please select the respective special session title under the list of research topics in the submission system.
* In order for your papers to be included in the congress program and in the proceedings, final accepted papers must be submitted, and the corresponding registration fees must be paid by May 1, 2024 (11:59 PM Anywhere on Earth).
* IEEE WCCI 2024 will present the Best Overall Paper Awards and the Best Student Paper Awards to recognize outstanding papers published in each of the three conference proceedings (IJCNN 2024, FUZZ-IEEE 2024, IEEE CEC 2024). The awards will be judged by an Awards Committee and the recipient of each award will be given a certificate of the award and a cash prize.
* It is the policy of WCCI 2024 that new authors cannot be added at the time of submitting final camera ready papers. Please ensure that you are following this guideline to avoid any issues with publication.
* WCCI 2024 adopts EDAS as the submission system, available at the following link: https://edas.info/N31614

NOTE
IEEE WCCI 2024 will be primarily an in-person conference. However, the organization acknowledges that for a wide variety of reasons not all members can physically attend the conference and that traveling may simply be impossible. Therefore, the conference will provide the possibility for remote presentation (live online talk with live online Q&A) for remote authors. At least one remote author must register for the conference (regular registration, as IEEE Member or Non-Member).
In addition to delivering the live online talk, remote authors are also asked to provide a recording their talk, which will be made available to all attendees to be viewed at their own convenience. The recorded talk will also be used as a backup just in case there are Internet connection problems during the live online talk. Remote attendees can attend only online sessions whereas on-site attendees can attend all sessions (i.e., both online and on-site sessions).
