TYPES of SUBMISSIONS and DECISIONS

Four types of original papers can be submitted:

Full paper: Finished or consolidated R&D works, to be included in one
of the Conference themes. These papers are assigned a 10-page limit.

Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, open to
discussion. These papers are assigned a 7-page limit.

Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, open to discussion.
These papers are assigned to a 4-page limit.

Company paper: Companies' papers that show practical experience, R &
D, tools, etc., focused on some topics of the conference. These papers
are assigned to a 4-page limit.

Submitted papers must comply with the format of Lecture Notes in
Networks and Systems series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer
Website), be written in English, must not have been published before,
not be under review for any other conference or publication and not
include any information leading to the authors’ identification.
Therefore, the authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic
references should not be included in the version for evaluation by the
Program Committee. This information should only be included in the
camera-ready version, saved in Word or Latex format and also in PDF
format. These files must be accompanied by the Consent to Publish form
filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the conference management
system.

All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least
two members of the Program Committee.

Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or
accepted by the Conference Chairs. In the later case, it can be
accepted as the type originally submitted or as another type. Thus,
full papers can be accepted as short papers or poster papers only.
Similarly, short papers can be accepted as poster papers only.

Poster papers and Company papers are not published in the Conference
Proceedings, being only presented and discussed. The authors of
accepted poster papers should build and print a poster to be exhibited
during the Conference. This poster must follow an A1 or A2 vertical
format. The Conference includes Work Sessions where these posters are
presented and orally discussed, with a 7 minute limit per poster.

The authors of accepted Full papers will have 15 minutes to present
their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of
discussion will follow each presentation. The authors of accepted
Short papers and Company papers will have 11 minutes to present their
work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 4 minutes of
discussion will follow each presentation.

PUBLICATION and INDEXING:

To ensure that a full paper or short paper is published and presented,
poster paper or company paper is presented, at least one of the
authors must be fully registered by the 5th of January 2024, and the
paper must comply with the suggested layout and page-limit.

Additionally, all recommended changes must be addressed by the authors
before they submit the camera-ready version.

No more than one paper per registration will be published. An extra
fee must be paid for publication of additional papers, with a maximum
of one additional paper per registration. One registration permits
only the participation of one author in the conference.

Full and Short papers will be published in Proceedings by Springer, in
several books of the Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems series.
Poster and company papers will not be published, just presented in the
conference.

WoS, SCOPUS, DBLP and Google Scholar, among others, and will be
available in the SpringerLink Digital Library.
