Duration & Structure
Each presentation session at SOFTT 2025 is allocated a comprehensive 15 minute time slot, which we strongly recommend dividing into 10 minutes for your actual presentation delivery and 5 minutes for interactive questions and answers with the audience. This time allocation has been carefully designed to ensure adequate presentation time while allowing meaningful engagement with conference attendees who may have questions about your research methodology, findings, or implications.
Technical Setup
Conference organizers will provide dedicated laptops in each presentation room specifically for speaker use, ensuring consistent technical standards across all sessions. You should bring your presentation files on a USB flash drive, and our experienced technical support team will be readily available to assist you in transferring and loading your files onto the conference system. We strongly advise preparing multiple backup copies of your presentation on different storage devices, as this precautionary measure helps avoid potential technical difficulties that could disrupt your presentation schedule.
System Compatibility
To ensure seamless presentation delivery, your slides must be fully compatible with Windows operating systems, which are standard across all conference laptops. Additionally, it is crucial to use commonly available fonts in your presentation design, as this prevents formatting inconsistencies, text display errors, or layout problems that might occur when your presentation is loaded onto different systems during the conference.
Multimedia Content
If your presentation incorporates multimedia elements such as video demonstrations, audio clips, or interactive media files, it is absolutely essential to organize all related files within a single folder structure. This organizational approach prevents broken links, missing media errors, or content that fails to display properly during your live presentation, ensuring that your multimedia elements enhance rather than detract from your research presentation.
Check in Protocol
All presenters are required to arrive at their designated presentation room no less than 15 minutes before their scheduled session begins. This mandatory early arrival time provides sufficient opportunity for comprehensive technical setup, equipment testing, audio level verification, and resolution of any unexpected technical issues that might arise, ensuring your presentation proceeds smoothly without delays that could impact subsequent sessions.
Language Standard
All oral presentations throughout SOFTT 2025 must be conducted exclusively in English, which serves as the official conference language to ensure accessibility and understanding among our diverse international audience of researchers, academics, and industry professionals from various linguistic backgrounds.
Official Slide Template
To maintain visual consistency and professional standards across all presentations at SOFTT 2025, we provide an official PowerPoint template that all presenters are encouraged to utilize for their slide preparation. This template has been specifically designed to reflect the conference branding and formatting guidelines while ensuring optimal readability and visual appeal for both live and virtual presentation formats.

Overview
SOFTT 2025 recognizes the importance of global accessibility and therefore offers comprehensive remote participation opportunities through high quality pre recorded video submissions managed via the EDAS platform. This virtual presentation option has been specifically designed to enable researchers and academics from around the world to share their valuable research findings and contribute meaningfully to the conference proceedings without the constraints of physical travel, making the conference truly inclusive for international participants facing travel limitations or other circumstances that prevent in person attendance.
Time Constraints
Virtual presentation videos must adhere to a strict maximum duration of 10 minutes total, which should be carefully planned to include your research introduction, methodology explanation, key findings presentation, and concluding remarks. This time limit has been established to maintain consistency with live presentation formats while ensuring that online attendees receive comprehensive yet focused content that effectively communicates your research contributions without overwhelming the audience with excessive detail.
Visual Requirements
Your video recording must prominently display both your presentation slides and a clear, professional view of yourself as the presenter throughout the duration of the video. It is absolutely mandatory that the person appearing in the video be one of the officially listed authors on the submitted paper, as this requirement ensures authenticity and maintains the academic integrity standards expected at professional conferences. The visual composition should be professional and well-lit to ensure optimal viewing quality for online conference participants.
File Parameters
All video submissions must be provided exclusively in MP4 format to ensure universal compatibility across different viewing platforms and devices used by conference attendees. The maximum allowable file size is strictly limited to 200MB, which requires careful attention to encoding settings and compression quality to maintain excellent visual and audio clarity while staying within the specified size constraints. Poor quality recordings with unclear audio or visual elements will not be accepted for conference inclusion.
Recording Tools
Presenters have flexibility in choosing their preferred recording methodology and may utilize various professional software applications including Zoom's comprehensive recording functionality, Microsoft PowerPoint's built-in presentation recording features, or other specialized screen capture software capable of simultaneously recording both computer screen content and webcam video feed. The chosen recording method should produce high-quality output that clearly captures both your slide content and your personal presentation delivery.
Upload Process & Quality Control
Video presentations are submitted directly through the EDAS system exclusively by the paper authors themselves, maintaining strict control over submission authenticity. Before video upload becomes available, authors must successfully complete both the final paper version submission and full conference registration payment processing. Session organizers will conduct comprehensive quality reviews of all submitted video presentations to evaluate content appropriateness, technical quality standards, and alignment with the accepted manuscript. Videos that fail to meet quality standards, feature non author presenters, or contain content that significantly deviates from the accepted research paper will be rejected and excluded from the conference proceedings.
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit full papers for review. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere will be considered.
Technical Papers must be submitted via the EDAS Paper Processing System.
During the initial paper submission process via EDAS, the authors are required to make sure the pdf file and EDAS registration page of a paper have the same list of authors and the paper title. Be certain to add all authors in EDAS during the submission process. Failure to comply with this rule and your paper may be withdrawn from the review process. Once reviewed the listing of authors connected to the paper can NOT be changed in the final manuscript.
The format for the manuscript must satisfy the following requirements:
The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (including its removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conferences/workshops/symposia at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Communications society will take action against any author who engages in either practice. Follow these links to learn more:PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IEEE SOFTT 2025 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For an author with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for 1 paper. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements.
Please read carefully all reviewers comment and reflect them to improve your Final papers.
English is the working language of the conference. If English is not your native language, please have your papers read by a native English speaker, or seek online services of proof reading to improve the language of your papers. Please note that your paper is subject to further review and it may be rejected if it is deemed that English of your paper is not acceptable.
All submitted manuscripts will be subjected to a rigorous plagiarism assessment. Authors must ensure that their submissions maintain a similarity index not exceeding 20% when evaluated through Turnitin. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold will be returned to authors for revision or may be rejected.
