Submission Strategy for 2026
• Start Early: Top-tier conferences like ICMAE often have strict deadlines. Begin organizing your data and drafting your manuscript by late 2025.
• Format Compliance: Most of these conferences require adherence to specific IEEE or Springer templates. Incorrect formatting is a common reason for early rejection.
• Cross-Disciplinary Value: Papers that demonstrate the application of AI/Machine Learning in aerospace manufacturing or predictive maintenance are currently seeing high acceptance rates.
