Call for Abstracts for Presentations, Papers, Panels, BoFs, and Exhibits

Call for Abstracts for Presentations


We invite extended abstracts and slides for presentations on the topics related to the conference. The abstracts should be prepared following the Springer guidelines and could be 5-10 pages in length including references. The extended abstracts that qualify for short papers (6-10 pages in length) will be published in the proceedings (special issue of the journal). All other abstracts and slides will be made publicly accessible through a GitHub repository set up for the conference and linked to this website. 

PDF copies of the rough draft of the slides (up to 25 slides maximum) are required as a part of the submissions. The PDFs of the abstract and the slides can be merged into a single PDF file, and can be submitted through EasyChair for peer-review by going to the following link:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=metrics2024 


Please include the keyword "Extended Abstract" before the actual title of the submission. For example: "Extended Abstract: A new approach for comparative analysis of research projects".

 





Note: Online presentations will be accommodated on December 17, 2024.


Call for Panels 


We invite proposals for panels on the topics related to the conference. The panels will be one-hour long and will involve discussions and exchange of thoughts among peers on a specific topic related to the conference.

The panel proposals should include: a title, the names and contact information of the moderator and 3-4 panelists, a description of the structure of the panel and how it will be run, and short biographies of the moderator and the panelists.

There are no formatting guidelines for the proposals and the proposals will not be published in the proceedings. Panel proposals should be 2–4 pages in length.

The PDFs of the proposals for panels should be submitted through EasyChair for peer-review by going to the following link:

Please include the keyword "Panel" before the actual title of the submission. For example: "Panel: Approaches for comparative analysis of research projects".

 





Call for BoFs


BoFs are informal and interactive sessions that bring together like-minded conference participants to discuss topics and ideas related to the conference. Each BoF session will be one hour long and will be led by one or more experts on the proposed topic. Proposals for BoF should include the title of the BoF, the name and contact information of the session organizer/s, short biography of the organizers, and a short description of how the session will be run. The proposals for BoFs would be 2-4 pages long.

Call for Papers


The Metrics2024 proceedings will be published by Springer Nature Computer Science in a special journal issue named as "Measuring Success of Research, Education, and CyberInfrastructure Projects".


We invite authors to submit their original and unpublished work that is in the scope of the conference, and not under review for another publication. Full papers (12 -25 pages in length including references) should be formatted as per the Springer-specified guidelines (details below) for review. Please note that the length of a page as per Springer format is different from the length of a page in a double-column IEEE/ACM format.



Templates and instructions for authors for preparing the papers are available at the following link: https://www.springer.com/journal/42979/submission-guidelines 


Following is the link to the submission system: https://www.editorialmanager.com/sncs/default2.aspx 


When using the Springer Nature Computer Science submission system, there would be a point during the submission process when one is asked: “Does this manuscript belong to a special issue?” and at that point one needs to click "yes" and then scroll down to the near bottom of the list to select the special issue titled "Metrics for Measuring Success of Research, Education, and CyberInfrastructure Projects."


PLEASE NOTE: The submission system for the journal paper review is different from the submission system for the abstracts/proposals for presentations, panels, and BoFs. Please send an email to Amit Majumdar (majumdar@sdsc.edu) and Ritu Arora (ritu@venratech.com) that includes the paper number that you receive after submission to the SNCS system for follow-ups with the editorial team.


Review Process for Abstracts, Papers, Panels, and BoFs


Each submission will be reviewed by at least three committee members and/or external reviewers. The submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the relevance to the conference theme, clarity of the content presented, originality of the work, and the impact of the work on the community.
