Submit your content

In addition to submitting your paper to IEEE HOST 2026, you are also encouraged to upload the data related to your paper to IEEE DataPort.  IEEE DataPort is IEEE’s data platform that supports the storage and publishing of datasets while also providing access to thousands of research datasets. Uploading your dataset to IEEE DataPort will strengthen your paper and will support research reproducibility.  Your paper and the dataset can be linked, providing a good opportunity for you to increase the number of citations you receive.  Data can be uploaded to IEEE DataPort prior to submitting your paper or concurrent with the paper submission.  Thank you!
