Submission Guidelines

We invite submissions in the following categories:

• Research Papers: Full papers with a 12-page limit, presenting original and novel research work. Submissions may include research results, evaluations, ongoing research, novel ideas with preliminary findings, advancements in the state of the art, or practical implementation experiences.

• Position Papers: Papers with an 8-page limit, offering position statements on issues related to the workshop topics. These papers should raise key questions, present controversial viewpoints, or discuss challenges and ideas to stimulate engaging discussions.

• Industry Papers: Full papers with a 12-page limit, focusing on industry-related research and developments. This track is designed for industry professionals and academics to showcase novel ideas, attract funding, and expand collaborations. Submissions must demonstrate a strong industrial association, such as the extensive evaluation of research results in industrial use cases or the active participation of industry representatives as co-authors.

Formatting and Submission:

• All submissions must be in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines.

• The page limits include the abstract, figures, and references.

• Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files via the Workshop Submission System by the specified deadlines.

• Final camera-ready submissions should adhere to Springer’s LNCS formatting instructions.

Review Process:

• Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the program committee to ensure high quality.

• Papers will be evaluated based on originality, significance, technical merit, and clarity of presentation.

Publication:

• All accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings, published by Springer.

Participation Requirement:

• At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the workshop and attend to present the paper. Registration will follow the terms and conditions of the main ICSOC conference, details of which are available on their official website.
