Preparation: Please use the provided templates (Word | Latex) for MIGARS 2025. They closely align with the more generic IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings. The templates include detailed formatting guidelines.

(Final) Manuscript: Two-columns, four (4) pages maximum (including figures, tables, bibliography, and any notes/appendices). This is a strict limit for accepted submissions.

Abstract submission: Authors are invited to submit their 2-4 pages (two-column format) abstract between 20th February – 15th April 2025. All submission will be done through the MIGARS 2025 EasyChair System*.

*Authors who do not already have an EasyChair account must create one before submitting their work. Follow the Create account procedure and then continue with your submission.

NOTE: Make sure the information provided in your manuscript (PDF) and EasyChair submission fields correspond (title, authors’ name and order, affiliations, etc.). Please do not use abbreviations on either names or surnames.

Review: All contributions that conform to the preliminary requirements will be reviewed by our experts. MIGARS 2025 follows a single-blind review process. Authors will include their names and affiliations in their papers as illustrated in the sample templates.

Each contribution will be assigned to at least 2 independent reviewers. All papers will be evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. Acceptance of papers will be communicated by email. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to make corrections in accordance with the suggestions of the reviewers and submit their final (camera-ready) papers within deadline.

Final paper submission: Further details to be provided here.

The final Conference Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore, subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements. Only those final papers for which at least one regular registration has been paid and the work has been presented at the conference (by the author, a co-author or at least a knowledgeable and qualified colleague) will be included. No-show papers are not to be published, per IEEE policy.

Outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions to appear in Special Issues of IEEE GRSS journals.

AI GENERATED TEXT POLICY and IEEE GUIDELINES

MIGARS 2025 prohibites the submission of manuscripts generated by large-scale language models (LLMs) and similar artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Only light editing of the authors’ original text, limited to spelling and grammar corrections, is allowed.

Authors must comply with the guidelines on the use and disclosure of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) specified in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual:

8.2.1.B.10:

The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article 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.

8.2.1.C.5:

Information or content contained in or about a manuscript under review shall not be processed through a public platform (directly or indirectly) for AI generation of text for a review. Doing so is considered a breach of confidentiality because AI systems generally learn from any input.
