Paper submission Guidelines

Paper submission Guidelines

The submission and review process of original research and experience report track papers will happen as per the stages below.

Abstract Submission 

• It is mandatory that an extended abstract be submitted by the abstract submission deadline (see deadlines).
  Failure to submit an abstract by this deadline will result in the inability to submit the full paper.

• The maximum word limit for abstract submissions is set at 500 words.

Full Paper Submission

• Following the submission of the abstract, authors must submit the full versions of the Original Research and Experience Report Papers by the full paper submission deadline. Please note submissions without a full paper by the deadline will be rejected without review.

• All submitted full papers will undergo a thorough peer-review process. 

• Accepted papers, after successful completion of the peer-review, will be included in the conference proceedings.

All submissions must be in Springer format. Papers that do not use the required format will be rejected without review. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Microsoft Word template can be found here.

All papers will be double-blindly peer-reviewed. Paper lengths for the research and experience report track submissions are as below. 

• Long papers (12 – 14 pages including references; for a long oral presentation)

• Short papers (6 – 8 pages including references; for a short oral presentation)

Please ensure compliance with the stated guidelines and deadlines in order to facilitate a smooth and efficient review process, and to ensure that your work can be considered for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
