Submission Rules
Before submitting your manuscript for review, please ensure that you are fully aware of and fully comply with all of the following rules:
Originality
Papers submitted to RTSS 2025 must describe original work not previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere.
Papers based on previous work presented at workshops are eligible for submission—if the workshop paper has a digital object identifier (DOI), then the submission must contain at least 30% new material.
Anonymity
All submitted papers must comply with the TCRTS Double-Anonymous Submission Requirements.
For further information, see also the TCRTS’s FAQ on this issue.
Presentation Requirement
Each accepted paper must be presented by an author at the conference in person if at all possible. Papers that are not presented at the conference will not appear in the published proceedings.
Pre-recorded video presentations are not permitted.
In exceptional cases (e.g., if none of the authors is able to obtain a visa to enter the US), please contact the program chair to find an individual solution.
The organizers are aware of the dynamic US travel and visa situation, and are monitoring it closely. Please get in touch in case of any questions or concerns.
Formatting Rules
Submissions must be formatted according to IEEE conference paper guidelines and use the IEEE conference template.
The main body of each submitted paper is limited to 11 pages of technical content, with additional pages permitted for acknowledgements and bibliography only.
Final versions of accepted papers will be limited to 12 pages of technical content, with additional pages permitted for acknowledgements and bibliography only.
Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Generated Text
All papers must comply with the IEEE rules on AI-generated text:
“The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in a paper (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any paper submitted to an IEEE publication. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the paper that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content.
“The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of the above policy. In this case, disclosure as noted above is recommended.”
