IPIN solicits submission of high quality technical papers reporting original work not previously published, nor currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Papers are submitted as one of two types:

• Regular paper: limited to 6 IEEE format pages, for oral presentation

Manuscripts are submitted according to the instructions for authors. Papers undergo a single-blind review process by at least two reviewers. Accepted regular papers are submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library and subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements. Best papers are awarded during the conference.

Topics of interest include:

• AI-assisted localization and sensor fusion
• Location awareness & context detection
• Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality applied to localization
