Camera-Ready Paper Submission Instructions:

Camera-Ready Paper Submission Deadline: 5th-January-2023.

ICRAI 2023 is using the IEEE PDF eXpress service to generate and verify the format of all papers submitted. Failing to submit an IEEEXplore compatible PDF file may result in the file not being included in the conference proceedings. In order to ensure that all submitted PDF files are IEEE Xplore compliant, your camera-ready paper must pass the format checks in IEEE PDF eXpress before it is uploaded to theEasyChairsystem. The service is free of charge for ICRAI 2023 authors.

Submit your camera-ready paper in PDF format (approved by PDF eXPress) on theEasyChairportal using the same credentials, which were employed in the initial paper submission.
