Submission Guidelines

Submission Guidelines

Two types of submissions are needed.

  • Research proposal. As a first step a research proposal has to be made, and submitted before the deadline. Proposals must clearly identify the overall topic and context, the problem statement, related work, proposed methodology, expected results, and planning. Research proposals should not be longer than 3 pages, addressing all relevant aspects. Submissions will be reviewed for clarity, feasibility, relevance, and completeness. A draft proposal will be reviewed by the corresponding track chair and peer-students.

  • Research paper. Papers must be tailored to the problems of Information Technology and fit into one of the tracks. The submissions should not be previously published and not currently under review by another conference or journal. Original papers with at most 8 single-spaced A4 pages including references are solicited. Submissions will be reviewed for clarity, novelty, relevance, and quality.

All submission must be performed through the conference site at EasyChair. Submissions must be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) format with all fonts embedded and be formatted according to the format template. Submissions have to be written in English. Papers that do not meet size and formatting requirements will not be reviewed. Submission is only possible for students from the University of Twente.

All accepted papers will be made available on the Conference website.
