Submission Guidelines

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other venue with formally published proceedings. Information about submissions may be shared with program chairs of other conferences for that purpose.

Anonymity Requirements

Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgement or obvious references.

Format Requirements

  • Must begin with a title, short abstract, and a list of keywords
  • Introduction should summarize contributions at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader
  • Follow the original LNCS format (see Springer LNCS Guidelines)
  • Page limit: 20 pages (including references)
  • Authors of accepted papers must guarantee presentation at the conference
  • Authors must make a full version of their paper available online
  • It is strongly encouraged that submissions be processed in LaTeX

Work-in-Progress Papers

Work-in-progress papers are welcome, and such submissions can expectedly be less than the maximum page limit of 20 pages.

Submissions less than 10 pages are discouraged as there is not enough space for appropriate technical content presentation.

Authors are required to include "WiP:" in the title of a work-in-progress paper submission.

Important

Submissions not meeting the submission guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
