<p class="MsoNormal">of the session is "Unleashing Disruption and Transformation: Emerging</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Technologies in Space." All attendees must possess a TS/SCI clearance</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and be a U.S. Citizen. Please send a message to: <a href="mailto:smc-it-scc@aero.org">
smc-it-scc@aero.org</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Process and Format</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- The SMC-IT/SCC 2025 Technical Committee is seeking two kinds of</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> submissions at this time: full papers (BOTH SMC-IT AND SCC) and</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> presentations (ONLY SCC).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- SMC-IT/SCC 2025 will use a single-pass, full-paper review process.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- The full paper is required and peer reviewed prior to deciding on</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> acceptance for the conference, even if an abstract has been</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> submitted.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Full papers can be up to 10 pages, not including references. The</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> paper template can be found on the IEEE website:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html">
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- All accepted papers will be published in the IEEE conference</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> proceedings, indexed with the IEEE Xplore database. Note that IEEE</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> has a "Podium and Publish" policy for conferences, which means that</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> no manuscript will be published in IEEE Xplore without first being</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> presented at the conference.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Authors of SCC presentations without a corresponding paper need to</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> submit a 1-page abstract, which will allow the conference</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> organizers to determine if the proposed presentation is germane for</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> the conference, determine which track/session the proposed</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> presentation belongs, and ensure the author is in contact with the</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> track/session chair for feedback prior to the final submission. All</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> presentation-only abstract submissions must be submitted by the</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> full paper deadline.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- All submissions are uploaded via EasyChair:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smcitscc2025">
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smcitscc2025</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Selected papers may be invited to appear in a special issue of a</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> reputable journal. More details will be made available in the</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> future.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Note: It is not required to submit an abstract prior to the paper</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> submission.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
