Call for Papers: 2026 SPIE Electronics & Communication Conferences (Stable Ei Indexing)

For Master's and PhD students in Electronic Information and Communication Engineering, securing a publication that is both easy to accept and reliably indexed is crucial for graduation. While IEEE conferences are prestigious, SPIE (The International Society for Optics and Photonics) proceedings offer a distinct advantage: they are renowned for their stable Ei Compendex indexing and a more inclusive peer-review process.

For 2026, we have curated a list of the most reliable SPIE-published international conferences covering electronics, signal processing, and machine vision.
