All submissions will be handled electronically via the conference’s Conference Management Toolkit (CMT) Website. By submitting a paper, the authors agree to the policies stipulated on this website.
The abstract should be in Microsoft Word document and not more than 200 words with 10 point font size.
Papers are limited to 6 pages (excluding references), including figures and tables, in the FETiCON style. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed. Authors should consult the FETiCON 2023 templates for the preparation of their papers. Please note that once the paper is accepted, authors will be required to prepare the final manuscript in word.
Please note that papers that are not properly anonymized, or do not use the template, or have more than 6 pages (excluding references) will be rejected without review.

1) Paper submission and review site
To log into the submission platform, please visit https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FETiCON2023
Dear Prospective Participant,
Please note that you have to create a CMT account before you can submit your abstract/paper to FETiCON 2023.
Here is how to create an account:

Please make sure that your browser has cookies and JavaScript enabled.
Please add “[email protected]” to your list of safe senders (whitelist) to prevent important email announcements from being blocked by spam filters.
Also, you can log into CMT3 at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com. If you do not see “Faculty of Engineering and Technology International Conference (FETiCON)” in the conference list already, click on the “All Conferences” tab and find it there.
2) Setting up your profile
You can update your User Profile, Email, and Password by clicking on your name in the upper-right inside the Author Console and choosing the appropriate option under “General”.
3) Domain Conflicts
When you log in for the first time, you will be asked to enter your conflict domain information. You will not be able to submit any paper without entering this information. We need to ensure conflict-free reviewing of all papers. At any time, you can update this information by clicking on your name in the upper-right and entering “Domain Conflicts” under FETiCON 2023.
It is the primary author’s responsibility to ensure that all authors on their paper have registered their institutional conflicts into CMT3. Each author should list domains of all institutions they have worked for or have had very close collaboration with, within the last 3 years (example: unilorin.edu.ng; ox.ac.uk; microsoft.com). DO NOT enter the domain of email providers such as gmail.com. This institutional conflict information will be used in conjunction with prior authorship conflict information to resolve assignments to both reviewers and area chairs. If a paper is found to have an undeclared or incorrect institutional conflict, the paper may be summarily rejected.
4) Creating a paper submission
(a) Click the “+ Create new submission” button in the upper left to create a new submission. There, you will be prompted to enter the title, abstract, authors, and subject areas.
(b) Check with your co-authors to make sure that: (1) you add them with their correct CMT3 email; and (2) they have entered their domain conflicts into CMT3 for FETiCON 2023. If you add an author with an email that is not in CMT3 and the name and organisation are not automatically filled, that means they are not yet enrolled in the system, and you should make sure to check that they do not already have an account under a different email before completing the requested information to add them.
(c) Enter subject (topic) areas for your paper. You must include at least one primary area. This information is used to help assign Area Chairs and reviewers.
5) Paper Number
Once you have registered your paper (i.e. title/authors), you will be assigned a paper number.
6) Submission Requirements
The maximum length of the abstract is 250 words.
The paper must be PDF only (maximum 10 MB). Make sure your paper meets the formatting and anonymity requirements described in this authors’ guidelines.
The supplementary material can be either PDF or ZIP only (maximum 20 MB).
7) Supplementary Material Submission
By the supplementary material deadline, the authors may optionally submit code and/or additional material that was ready at the time of paper submission but could not be included due to constraints of format or space. The authors should refer to the contents of the supplementary material appropriately in the paper. Reviewers will be encouraged to look at it, but are not obligated to do so.
Supplementary material may include videos, proofs, additional figures or tables, more detailed analysis of experiments presented in the paper, code, or concurrent submission to FETiCON or another conference. It may not include results on additional datasets, results obtained with an improved version of the method (e.g., following additional parameter tuning or training), or an updated or corrected version of the submission in PDF. Papers with supplementary materials violating the guidelines may be summarily rejected.
8) Code Submission and Reproducibility
To improve reproducibility in Artificial Intelligence research, we highly encourage authors to voluntarily submit their code as part of supplementary material. Authors should also use the Reproducibility Checklist as a guide for writing reproducible papers. Reviewers are encouraged to check the submitted code to ensure that the paper’s results are trustworthy and reproducible. The code should be anonymized, e.g., author names, institutions and licenses should be removed. We do not expect authors to submit private/sensitive data, only sufficient data to demonstrate the method. All code/data will be reviewed confidentially and kept private.
Detailed supplementary material guidelines
(a) All supplementary material must be self-contained and zipped into a single file. The following document and media formats are allowed: avi, doc, docx, mp4, pdf, wmv. CMT imposes a 100 MB limit on the size of this file. Note that you can update the file by uploading a new one (the old one will be deleted and replaced).
(b) The paper for review (PDF only) must be submitted first before the supplementary material (PDF or ZIP only) can be submitted.
(c) Code can be submitted as part of the supplementary zip file or through anonymous Github repositories (include the link in a separate text file in the supplementary zip). The link should point to a branch that will not be modified after the submission deadline.
