Final Paper Preparation and Copyright Signature Deadline:September 15, 2024
Please note that you should prepare a final version of the paper and submit or update it through the Learning Conference System no later than September 15, 2024.
To submit your final paper, please follow the three steps below:
(1) Prepare your final paper and verify that it is IEEE Xplore compliant.
(2) Submit your final PDF file electronically through Learning Conference System.
(3) Submit the IEEE Copyright Form through Learning Conference System.
Step 1: Prepare your final paper and verify that it is IEEE Xplore compliant.
All papers published in the Proceedings of Light Conference 2024 and presented at the conference will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore®. Therefore, all final paper files must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF specifications for compatibility.
Please use one of the approved templates provided by IEEE to prepare your final paper for submission: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
In order to facilitate the process of creating and verifying PDF files, we have registered for use of the tool IEEE PDF eXpress. This is a free service for IEEE conferences, allowing authors to convert their final Word or LaTeX file into an IEEE Xplore-compliant PDF or to check PDFs that authors made themselves for IEEE Xplore-compliance.
In order to verify that your final paper is IEEE Xplore-compliant, please follow the steps below.
(1) Go to the IEEE PDF eXpress (https://ieee-pdf-express.org) web site.
(2) If you already have an IEEE eXpress account (either for Light Conferenc 2024 or another conference), you can just log in using our conference ID 63366X, your email address, and password.
(3) If you are a first-time user, you can create an account on the IEEE PDF eXpress system. To do that, click on the “Create account” link. Enter the conference ID 63366Xyour email address, and choose a new password. Please continue to enter information as prompted. You will then receive online email confirmation of a successful account setup. Then you can proceed to login to the IEEE eXpress system.
(4) For each Light Conference 2024 final paper that you want to process, please click “Create New Title” in Dashboard, enter identifying text for the paper (the paper title is recommended), and then click “Submit PDF for Checking” or “Submit Source File for Conversion”. You will then be prompted to upload your file. Click “Browse” to browse to your file and then click “Upload File”.
(5) Once the checking/conversion process is completed successfully, the account holder will receive an email with the verified or converted PDF file attached to it. This approved PDF file is labeled within its document properties as being “Certified by IEEE PDF eXpress”, with an exact date and time stamp (you can see "Certified by IEEE PDF eXpress" through File-Properties-Description in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC). This approved file and not your original upload is what you should submit to Learning Conference System as your final paper.
Step 2: Submit your final PDF file electronically through Learning Conference System.
Be sure to submit the approved final PDF file that you received via email from IEEE PDF eXpress. This approved PDF file is labeled within its document properties as being “Certified by IEEE PDF eXpress”, with an exact date and time stamp.

(5) Check that all paper information in Learning Conference System matches the information on the final PDF file. Detailed information (title, abstract, etc.) that will appear in the conference proceedings will be taken from Learning Conference System and not from the submitted PDF file.
Step 3: Submit the IEEE Copyright Form through Learning Conference System.
IEEE requires that an author of every published paper sign a copyright agreement. Learning Conference System is a vendor authorized by IEEE to handle copyright agreements. To sign the agreement via Learning Conference System, you should:
