Call for Papers

ICon INDIA 2026

Researchers, practitioners, and scholars are invited to submit original and unpublished research papers addressing theoretical developments, practical implementations, and experimental results in intelligent networks and data-driven applications.

Submissions are encouraged from academia, industry, and research laboratories worldwide.

Accepted papers must be presented during the conference and may be considered for IEEE Xplore / indexed proceedings.

Accept papers must be presented during the conference by a registered author. Only paper that are successfully presented and meet all IEEE quality requirements will be considered for submission to IEEE Xplore. Papers not presented will be treated as "no-shows" and will not be included in the final proceedings.

Submission Guidelines

Important IEEE Policy Announcement: The IEEE reserves the right to remove a paper from distribution after the conference, including its removal from IEEE Xplore, if it is not presented at the conference. Papers are reviewed with the understanding that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference simultaneously (double submission). These issues are taken very seriously, and the IEEE Communications Society will take action against any author involved in either practice. Follow these links to learn more:

IEEE Policy on Plagiarism
IEEE Policy on Double Submission

 

NOTE: To be published in the ICon INDIA 2026 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the FULL or LIMITED (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid before uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the  ICon INDIA 2026 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®.

During the initial paper submission process via the Aconf submission system, it is the authors' responsibility to ensure that the author list and paper title in the submitted PDF file match exactly the author list and paper title on the  Aconf submission system registration page. 

 

IMPORTANT: The page length limit for all initial submissions for review is SIX (6) printed pages (10-point font) and must be written in English. Initial submissions longer than SIX (7) pages will be rejected without review.

All final submissions of accepted papers must be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font), including figures. No more than two (2) additional printed pages (10-point font) may be included in final submissions, and the extra pages (the 7th and 8th pages) will incur an over-length page charge of US$25 for each page. All final papers must be submitted to the IEEE Conference PDFeXpress website. Please refer to the acceptance letter for the instructions on how to upload final papers.
