Please submit your paper at <a href=\"https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=host2027\">https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=host2027<\/a>. This year, two paper submission formats will be allowed: <strong>A long paper format<\/strong> with a page limit of 10 pages and up to 2 pages of references and <strong>a short paper format<\/strong> with a page limit of 5 pages and up to 1 page of references, both in double column, IEEE format, with a minimum font size of 10 points. Paper templates are available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieee.org\/conferences\/publishing\/templates.html\">https:\/\/www.ieee.org\/conferences\/publishing\/templates.html<\/a>. Only work that has not been previously published at the time of the submission will be considered. Duplicate submissions to concurrent conferences\/journals are not permissible, and if encountered will be rejected and reported to IEEE. The paper selection will involve a double-blind review: the identity of authors must not be revealed, directly or indirectly, throughout the entire process, with all references to the author(s)\u2019 own previous work being in the third person.\u00a0 Only the long paper format will undergo a rebuttal process in which authors may address reviewer comments.\u00a0 Also, please avoid \u201comitted for blind review\u201d in the bibliography and make sure that the PDF metadata does not contain author information. \u00a0HOST follows IEEE rules regarding arXiv submissions. The authors may upload preliminary versions of their manuscript during the review process, but must include the IEEE copyright statement if accepted for publication in the HOST proceedings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9cfc1a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9cfc1a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><span style=\"color: maroon\">Conflict of Interest Declaration<\/span><\/h4><p>Before the full paper submission deadline, please declare your conflicts of interest with the TPC members on EasyChair, using the \u201cDeclare conflict\u201d link on the top right corner of your paper information page.
