English is the working language of the conference. If English is not your native language, please have your papers read by a native English speaker, or seek online services for proofreading to improve the language of your papers. Please note that your paper is subject to further review and it may be rejected if it is deemed that the English of your paper is not acceptable.

IEEE is very strict about the requirements for converting application files or PostScript files to full-text PDF for inclusion in IEEE Xplore®.
The most important issue that every author shall pay attention to is to make sure that all the fonts used in your papers are EMBEDDED and SUBSETTED, especially for papers from Asia and Europe. Failure to embed and subset fonts is the biggest obstacle to PDF compliance with IEEE Xplore® and please make sure that your PDF files are compliant with IEEE Xplore®. Papers failing to meet the IEEE Xplore® PDF requirements may be rejected.
Each PDF for IEEE Xplore® must have all of these characteristics:
- Be PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5) or later but not Acrobat 9.
- Must be created with a PDF distiller. Scanning is not permitted (See Section 5).
- Embeds or subsets all fonts. Doing so helps makes sure that the mathematics appears as intended and improves text searching in the PDF (Section 3). Please note some TrueType fonts have a setting added by the font designer that prevents the font from being embedded and should be avoided.
- Does not have a password or other security settings.
- Does not contain any bookmarks or links. Links are supported now only by using a summary.txt, readme file, and a packing list. They appear in the IEEE Xplore® TOC as multimedia.
- Does not contain crop marks, registration marks, date stamp, time stamp, or any other mark that does not appear in the official version of the publication.
- Does not contain any PostScript that overrides the settings file.
- Does not use PDF attachments.
- Does not consist of a PDF Package or Merged PDF, a PDF 1.7 (Acrobat 8) feature.

Several important issues for final “camera-ready” manuscripts (revised papers):
1. Papers should NOT have: Page numbers Headers Footers;
2. Make sure that all the fonts used in your papers are EMBEDDED and SUBSETTED;
3. Papers must be written on A4-format page. Margin : a. Minimum left and right margins : 1.57 cm; b. Minimum top margin for first page : 1.9 cm; c. Minimum top margin for other pages : 1.9 cm; d. Minimum bottom margin : 2.5 cm;
4. Disallow headers (i.e., any text appearing before the paper title);
5. Minimum font size for most-common text, in points (see IEEE Conference template);
6. Do not allow scanned (bit image) papers (scanned papers cannot be checked for similarity);
7. Do not allow encrypted papers (encrypted papers cannot be checked for similarity);
8. Do not allow print-only papers (print-only papers cannot be checked for similarity);
9. Check that PDF file has no bookmarks (required for IEEE manuscripts);
10. Disallow form fields;
11. Disallow links in PDF (required for IEEE manuscripts). Remove hyperlink on email and web address;
12. Disallow annotation (notes) in PDF;
13. Enforce gutter width (only for two-column papers);
14. Remove copyright template “XXX-X-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/XX.00 ©️20XX IEEE” on left of bottom page from file IEEE Conference template (conference-template-a4.docx);
15. Make sure that all figures and tables can be seen and read clearly and no visible blur
16. Especially for papers from Indonesia, make sure that all the references from jurnal/conference proceedings with English Language, NOT from jurnal/conference proceedings local edition with Indonesia Language.
IMPORTANT IEEE POLICY
The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (including its removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conferences/workshops/symposia at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Communications society will take action against any author who engages in either practice. Follow these links to learn more:

PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the Apwimob 2024 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 (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 arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For an author with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for 1 paper. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the Apwimob 2024 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®.
