Submission Guidelines

When preparing your contribution, please follow the guidelines provided on the ICPR main conference website. Submissions must be between 6 and 15 pages in length (including references). Papers shorter than 6 pages will not be accepted. Papers exceeding 15 pages will incur an extra fee of 150€ for each additional page.

Each contribution will undergo a double-blind peer-review process and must therefore be fully anonymized. Submissions will be evaluated based on originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance, and technical quality. We also expect authors to include a discussion of the privacy and ethical implications of their work.

The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support. All submissions will be handled electronically via the following link:

Once accepted, the presence of at least one author at the event and the oral presentation of the paper are expected. For more details about the registration see the ICPR main conference website.
