Submission Guidelines

Submissions must be formatted according to the [ Author Guidelines ] provided on the conference website.

Full-length papers are allowed a maximum of 15 pages in the proceedings, of which 12 are content pages.

Short papers are allowed a maximum of 9 pages in the proceedings, of which 6 are content pages.

Deadlines: The submission deadlines are strict and no extensions, regardless of circumstances, will be allowed. Placeholder or dummy abstracts are forbidden.

Authorship: Every person named as the author of a paper must have contributed substantially to the work described in the paper and/or to the writing of the paper and must take responsibility for the entire content of a paper.

Authorship Changes: The full list of author names, including the ordering, must be finalized at the point of submission. There cannot be any addition, removal, or reordering of authors after submission time. The only changes allowed are the correction of spelling mistakes or new affiliation.
Maximum Authorship: In the research track, the number of submissions allowed per author is limited to 3 (three) maximum. If more than 3 papers are submitted with the same person listed as an author or coauthor, the additional papers submitted after the first 3 by submission id, will be desk-rejected.

Double Anonymity Policy: The review process will be double-blind. The submitted document should omit any author names, affiliations, or other identifying information. This may include, but is not restricted to acknowledgments, self-citations, references to prior work by the author(s), and so on. Please use the third-person to refer to your own prior work. For example, say "Prior work by [authors]" instead of "In our prior work. You may explicitly refer in the paper to organizations that provided datasets, hosted experiments, or deployed solutions and tools.

Submissions must be original; this means that papers currently under review or already published in any peer-reviewed conference or journal with formal proceedings cannot be submitted. However, papers previously presented as posters, oral presentations, or abstracts at non-archival venues without formal proceedings, like workshops or PhD symposia, are allowed. Authors can also submit anonymous versions of work available as a preprint (e.g., on arXiv or SSRN) without needing to reference it.

Conflict of Interest (COI) Policy

All authors and reviewers must declare conflicts of interest in Microsoft CMT. A domain conflict must be reported if you are currently working, or have worked in the last 12 months, at the same institution or company, no matter where it's located. A personal conflict should be reported if any of the following apply:

You are applying for a job at the same institution or company.
You have co-authored a book or paper or worked together on a grant/research proposal in the last 24 months.
You are currently collaborating with them.
You have a family or close personal relationship.
You were their graduate advisor or student, no matter how long ago.
You have strong personal dislike with the person.

Publication and Presentation Policies

Publication: We invite two types of submissions: Full length papers will be allowed the same maximum page length in the proceedings (15 pages, of which 12 are content pages), Short papers (9 pages, of which 6 pages are content pages), which will be published by SPRINGER (Approval Awaited) and will be accessible via the SPRINGER NATURE. That is, only 3 pages for the references and Appendix are allowed for all accepted papers. The accepted full-length papers will require a further revision to meet the requirements of the camera-ready format required by SPRINGER. Camera-ready versions of accepted papers can and should include all information to identify authors and should acknowledge any funding received that directly supported the presented research. The goal of the short papers is to provide a venue for innovative ideas such as engineered solutions, exciting work-in-progress or even negative results that would be interesting to the broader community. The review process will take place in two stages.

In the first review stage, papers will be classified as Accept, Revision, or Reject.
In the second stage, authors of papers needing revisions can revise and resubmit. These papers will then be classified as either Accept or Reject.

Reproducibility: Authors are strongly encouraged to make their code and data publicly available during the review process. In the case where data cannot be released publicly, authors are encouraged to include experiments on relevant public datasets and/or create simulated data with the same properties.

Registration: To be included in the proceedings, every accepted paper must be covered by a distinct conference registration, e.g., two multi-authored papers require two registrations, even if they have overlapping authors. This registration must be Full Conference (5-day) or Main Conference (3-day) registration, at the standard (non-student) in-person rate, payment of which must be completed by the camera-ready deadline. Each paper MUST have an author registration to the conference. Single registration can cover up to 2 papers, if an author has multiple papers. Student registration type is acceptable. However, student registration will cover the registration of a single paper.

Presentation: Authors of accepted full papers must present their work as both a talk and a poster at the conference; accepted short papers must present their work as a poster. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of the conference, which will be published in the SPRINGER (Approval Awaited).

Submissions that do not follow these guidelines, or otherwise potentially reveal the identity of the authors or do not view or print properly, are subject to Desk Rejection.
