General Information on Submission & Publication
Acceptance for presentation at the conference will be based on the submitted abstracts. Subject to review, acceptance may be for an oral or poster presentation.
Papers are to be submitted at a later stage.
The deadline for paper submission is after the conference. This post-conference publication strategy is preferred to allow authors to report on the latest status of their work and potentially incorporate feedback from the conference. However, for authors, who prefer to submit their paper earlier, it will not be necessary to wait until the conference time. Paper submission will be opened after the abstract submission phase.
The submitted papers will undergo additional review to be accepted for publication in the conference proceedings.
Please note that an accepted paper will only be considered for publication if it is presented at the conference and at least one author is regularly registered.
Extended versions of the selected papers will be considered for possible publication in special or regular issues of various journals.
