PAPER SUBMISSION

All papers must be submitted in PDF format and comply with the following guidelines:

Full research papers (14-16 pages) present theoretical, methodological or conceptual solutions, empirical studies, or new research positions and approaches. Submissions must conform to Springer LNCS format and should not exceed 16 pages, including all text, figures, references, and appendices. See the guidelines here.

All submissions must describe original contributions, unpublished and not under review elsewhere. Submissions not conforming to the format, exceeding the page limit, or being obviously out of the scope of the conference will be rejected without review.

All submissions will be evaluated (originality, validity, contribution, technical quality, and presentation) by at least three members of the international programme committee.

Full research papers will be published by Springer in the series Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS), indexed by SCOPUS and submitted for indexation in Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index. Extended versions of selected papers will be invited for submission to the following journals indexed by Clarivate Analytics Web of Science and Scopus: Informatica, Computer Science and Information Systems, Baltic Journal of Modern Computing.
