AUTHORS GUIDELINES
Papers Submission and Publication
As for previous editions, we invite submissions in two categories: Regular papers (up to 12 pages, LNCS format) and Demo papers (up to 4 pages). Both categories of papers should be submitted in PDF format through the Microsoft Conference Management Toolkit (CMT) using the following link. Authors should adhere to Springer's guidelines and utilize the provided templates for paper preparation, available here in both LaTeX and Word formats.
Accepted and presented papers will be published, just prior to the conference, in the online conference proceedings. We are currently in discussion with Springer to publish post-conference proceedings in the CCIS series, which are indexed in many reference databases such as DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, and Scopus. CCIS volumes are also submitted for consideration for special issues.
