Submissions

Papers should be submitted to the workshop Easychair page. The workshop features regular papers in three categories (please note if your submission has a student as the first author by selecting the "Student-led paper" topic during submission):

Extended Abstract (up to 3 pages) or Demonstration paper (1 page) describing either:

1. • • a research project,

     • a demonstration of implemented systems, or

     • late-breaking results (work-in-progress).

We are also accepting the following two proposals. Please email a PDF of these proposal types directly to Maxim Topaz:

1. Panel proposal (up to 2 pages) describing the proposed topic and including the invited moderator and panelists

2. Debate on topics related to AI and nursing (up to 2 pages) describing the proposed topic and including the invited moderator and panelists

Submissions should be formatted according to Springer's LNCS format  (Word template is also available here). Authors can include an appendix that does not count towards the page limit, however there is no guarantee that reviewers will read it. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.
