Submission

This conference is open for students of the bachelor programmes Computer Science and Business Information Technology of the University of Twente. Each student can choose only one track. Two important submissions are needed:

  • Research proposal. As a first step towards carrying out a research project each student has to write a research proposal highlighting the context, problem statement, importance, state of the art, methodology, expected results and planning. A draft proposal will be reviewed by the corresponding track chair and peer-students.

  • Research paper. Upon acceptance of the proposal each student will perform the proposed research. The results of the research will be described in a scientific paper following the submission guidelines of the conference.
