Paper submission

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘ConfyPlus‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section). Papers should be in English. Regular papers should be no more than 18 pages LNCS format.

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation.

Paper review will be single-blind, so there is no need for anonymous submission. Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will be rejected without review. The paper must start with a title, an abstract, and keywords.

Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.
