FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- IEEE
- The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the professional body behind the NILES publishing and membership framework. Member and non-member registration rates differ, so check which category applies to you.
- Technical track
- One of the four subject streams announced for NILES 2026: electrical engineering, communications, computing and emerging sciences. Authors submit and present within a track.
- Peer review
- Evaluation of a submitted paper by independent experts in the same field before acceptance. NILES papers follow IEEE conference review practice, so reviewers' comments usually arrive before the camera-ready deadline.
- Camera-ready paper
- The final, formatted version of an accepted paper sent for proceedings production after review and revision. Page limits and formatting rules apply at this stage.
- Proceedings
- The collected accepted papers distributed for the conference, typically published through IEEE and indexed in IEEE Xplore. Check the organiser's author instructions for the current edition's production schedule.
- IEEE Xplore
- IEEE's digital library, where accepted conference proceedings are commonly hosted and searched by researchers. Authors often use an Xplore record to show conference publication on grant and promotion files.
- Keynote session
- An invited opening or plenary talk by a senior researcher or industry leader, setting the theme for the day. Keynotes are usually open to all registered attendees rather than a single track.
- Poster session
- A scheduled block where authors present printed or digital posters and discuss results one-to-one with attendees. Poster presenters should prepare a short verbal summary as well as the printed board.
- Emerging sciences
- The NILES track label for newer or interdisciplinary research fields that do not sit solely within electrical, communications or computing engineering. Check the call for papers for the current track scope.
- Registration category
- The fee band you select when registering, such as IEEE member, non-member, Egyptian national rate or one-day attendee. Your category determines the amount due and what is included in the registration.
