Paper Submission

 
Paper Submission
Papers will be reviewed using a double blind review process. Five reviewers will be selected for each paper and at least three reviewers will be required to provide their comments and suggestions before we can move along with their recommendations regarding acceptance/rejection. The Technical Chairs and Program Chairs will then make a final recommendation as: Accept or Reject

Double-Blind Reviewing
The review process, i.e. reviewers will not know the authors’ identity (and vice versa). Authors should ensure their anonymity in the submitted papers. In brief:

- Authors’ names should not be included in the submitted pdf;
- Please refer to your prior work in the third person wherever possible;
- A reviewer may be able to deduce the authors’ identities by using external resources, such as technical reports published on the web. The availability of information on the web that may allow reviewers to infer the authors’ identities does not constitute a breach of the double-blind submission policy.

Note:  Anonymizing your paper is mandatory, and papers that explicitly or implicitly reveal the authors’ identities may be rejected.

Paper Submission
Please read the following paper submission guidelines before submitting your paper (s):
  • Each paper should not reveal the author's identities (see double-blind review process above).
  • Please ensure that the plagiarism is less than 15%.  The Program Committee reserves the right to desk-reject a paper if it contains elements that are suspected to be plagiarized.
  • Submissions should be original and not currently under review at another venue.
  • Each paper is limited to 10 pages, including figures, tables, and references. A maximum of two extra pages per paper is allowed (i.e, up to 12 pages), at an additional charge per extra page.
  • All papers must be submitted through the online submission system given below. For special session papers, please select the respective special session title under the list of research topics in the submission system.
  • In order for your papers to be included in the program and in the proceedings, final accepted papers must be submitted, and the corresponding registration fees must be paid by the deadline posted in Important Dates.
  • New authors cannot be added at the time of submitting final camera ready papers. Please ensure that you are following this guideline to avoid any issues with publication.

Submitted papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical, experimental or application nature, or be unique experience reports. Proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems", which is currently indexed by SCOPUS, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, SCImago and are submitted for consideration in Web of Science.
