Paper Submission:

Manuscripts offering high quality original and unpublished research, case studies and implementations are solicited. The manuscripts need to be formatted as IEEE double column conference format. The maximum length of the manuscript needs to be of 6-pages. All submitted papers will undergo DOUBLE-blind-review by the program committee. Authors need to prevent identity disclosure by: (1) not listing names and affiliations of the authors on the manuscript, (2) not saying “my work” or “our work” in the text while citing self-references, and (3) not writing acknowledgments in such a way that identity of authors are implied. Author information should only be included in the submission form. Manuscripts not following this requirement or exceeding 6-page length will be rejected without review. Authors need to submit a single pdf file of their manuscripts at : https://edas.info/N28434, OCIT2021 will follow no-show policy, i.e., accepted papers are to be registered and presented, otherwise the paper will be removed from the proceedings.

Best Paper Awards: Three awards will be conferred with due recommendations from the program committee from the papers presented in the conference. Each award will carry cash prize and citations. One student best paper prize will be awarded from the papers where the students are the leading authors.
