Technical Tracks

Technical Program and Peer Review Process

The Technical Program Committee (TPC) is responsible for the technical quality of the conference, including paper selection and program organization.

  • Review Type: A rigorous double-blind peer review process will be employed for all submissions.
  • Anonymization: Submitted manuscripts must not list author names, affiliations, or any personally identifiable information.
  • Plagiarism Screening: All submissions will undergo mandatory plagiarism screening as per IEEE guidelines. Papers violating ethics will be desk-rejected.
  • Review Criteria: Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, potential impact, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference scope.
  • Reviewer Pool: A pool of 29 qualified external reviewers will ensure a robust review process.
  • Reviews per Paper: Each paper will receive a minimum of 2 reviews.
  • Paper Volume & Acceptance: We anticipate approximately 200 submissions, with a target acceptance rate of 40%.

Technical Tracks (NGCAPS-2027)

Theme and areas to be covered by the conference along with Tracks and probable Chairs and if possible, to which Society(ies) of IEEE the areas precisely belong, as areas may be under one or more Societies of IEEE:

This detailed breakdown of technical tracks is perfect for establishing the credibility and focus of NGCAPS-2027 at Lovely Professional University. Here is a comprehensive response aligning the tracks with probable IEEE Societies, suggesting a structure for chairs, and integrating them with LPU's research ecosystem.
