Call for regular papers is now closed!!! please visit the Call for Workshop (WCAL) papers for submitting your paper to the Workshop Computing & Advanced Localization (WCAL) for Poster communication.

IPIN solicits submission of high quality technical papers reporting original work not previously published, nor currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.

Call for Regular Papers (oral presentation): Regular papers are limited to 6 IEEE format pages (including references), for oral presentation. Note that authors are encouraged to submit 6-page, original and unpublished full articles. After acceptance and successful revision, a final paper may be up to 8 pages long. However, please note that for papers longer than 6 pages, additional page fees (per page) will apply at the time of registration and final submission of the paper. Please do not submit any paper with more than 6 pages for initial review. Regular Papers Chairs: Elena Simona Lohan, Tampere University, Finland; Joaquín Torres-Sospedra, Universitat de València, Spain

Manuscripts are submitted according to the instructions for authors. Papers undergo a single-blind review process by at least two reviewers. Accepted regular papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Sponsored by the IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation (J-ISPIN), six best papers will be selected and awarded during the conference. The winners of the best papers will be waived the APC for publication of extended versions of their papers in the IEEE J-ISPIN.

Call for Work-in-Progress (WiP) Papers (poster presentation): This year, the WiP track has been replaced by the The Workshop for Computing & Advanced Localization (WCAL), which will be co-located with the 2025 IPIN conference. See Call for Workshop WCAL Papers for further details.

Please note that the TPC strictly adheres to the IEEE rules for the peer review process. Reviewers treat the contents of the submitted papers as confidential information not to be disclosed to others before publication. We expect our reviewers to not make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge that the access provides.

The conference emphasizes open science practices, which will be positively received during the review process.
