Even though the complete IEEE SMC 2025 publication package was submitted to IEEE on time, IEEE has informed us that the publication process for the IEEE SMC 2025 proceedings on the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library is taking longer than expected. The delay is due to a significant backlog at the IEEE publication department and the fact that IEEE SMC 2025 set a record with around 1,200 presented papers.
The IEEE team is working diligently to complete the process, and the publication on IEEE Xplore is now planned for around the end of January to mid-February 2026. We appreciate your patience and understanding as this record-breaking conference’s contributions are prepared for global access.
