Submission

Papers

The emphasis of the conference is on sustaining and expanding research excellence in Scotland by focusing on original student work in progress. For this reason, all papers should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever appropriate. Specific requirements are:

• • The point of the SICSA conference is communication - within the SICSA community and with the wider computer science and informatics community, so that we can demonstrate the excellence of work going on in Scotland by students. Therefore, there is no requirement for the paper to be a "novel" contribution i.e. work which has not been published before. So, if you have already published papers in more specialist conferences, you can amend these for submission to this general audience conference. Papers initially submitted to this conference may be submitted to other conferences at a later date.

  • All first authors MUST be registered PhD students with a SICSA university in Scotland at the time of submission and registration. For a list of SICSA institutions, please see: http://www.sicsa.ac.uk/contact/links-to-universities

  • The first (student) author is required to present their work in person at the conference.

  • A core objective of the conference is to discuss ongoing work. In line with this objective, and due to necessarily low acceptance rate on papers for presentation, all paper submissions MUST be accompanied by a poster. Papers up to 10 pages using the LNCS style will be selected for presentation covering a range of topics that reflect the wide scope of Scotland's PhD research in informatics and computer studies. Acceptance to this section will depend on the balance of paper topics received, and their suitability for a broad audience.

  • When submitting you will be presented with a list of topics. Please select those topics that your work applies to. You may select more than 1 topic but you should select at least one.

Authors are requested to omit their names and affiliations from the papers they upload, in order to ensure that the review process is double blind.

Submission for the paper track is CLOSED.
