1- The PDF and Doc formats of the paper must be uploaded.
2- It is necessary to submit a PDF file of the paper without the name of the Authors.
3- The CopyRight form MUST be signed and uploaded with the paper submission.
4- The Conflict-of-interest form MUST be signed and uploaded with the paper submission.
5- The manuscripts edited in two columns will be REJECTED.
6- The manuscripts with low originality will be REJECTED.

8- Upon submission of an article, authors are supposed to include all figures and tables in the PDF file of the manuscript. Figures and tables should not be submitted in separate files.
9- Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Vertical rules should not be used.The equations should be numbered serially throughout the paper. The equation number should be located to the far right of the line in parenthesis. Equations are shown left aligned on the column.
All submitted manuscripts must include the following items:
•Title
• List of authors, their affiliations and email addresses
• Abstract
• Keywords
• Introduction
• Main body
• Results and discussion
• Conclusions
• Acknowledgments (optional)
• References
Title - Make sure that the title is specific and concise. Titles should be presented in title case - all words except the first word should be in lower case letters.
List of authors, their affiliations and email addresses - Provide the full names and affiliations of all the authors. Affiliations should include department, university or organization, city, and country. One of the authors should be designated as the corresponding author, and their email address needs to be included.
Abstract - The abstract should briefly introduce the manuscript, not exceeding 400 words. No citations should be included in the abstract.
Keywords - At least 3 keywords or phrases should be included and must be separated by commas to distinguish them.
Introduction - State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Main body - the main body part should include the main proposed ideas, results and discussions.
Conclusions - A conclusion is where you summarize the paper's findings and generalize their importance, discuss ambiguous data, and recommend further research. An effective conclusion should provide closure for a paper, leaving the reader feeling satisfied that the concepts have been fully explained.
Acknowledgments - You as the author are free to decide whether to include acknowledgments or not. Usually, the acknowledgments section includes the names of people who in some way contributed to the work, but do not fit the criteria to be listed as the authors. This section of your manuscript can also include information about funding sources.
References - Referencing is based on the IEEE Referencing Style.
When referencing sources, Persian sources should be listed first, followed by English sources. Sources are sorted alphabetically by the last name of the first author. If multiple sources have the same first author's last name, they are further sorted by the last name of the next author and the publication year. Once sorted, each source is assigned a reference number starting from 1. This number is then used for citations within the text.
In general, the order of elements in an IEEE reference is as follows: reference number, author(s) name(s), title of the source in italics, edition number (if applicable), place of publication, publisher, and year of publication.
