Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions must be anonymized with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references; non-anonymized papers may be rejected without review.
- Papers must not substantially overlap with published, accepted, or concurrently submitted work to journals, conferences, or workshops with published proceedings.
- Papers rejected in Round 1 cannot be resubmitted in Round 2; only major revisions from Round 1 may be resubmitted to Round 2.
- All submissions must be in English, as PDFs using Springer’s LNCS format, no more than 20 pages (including bibliography), excluding well-marked appendices.
- Reviewers are not required to read appendices or supplementary material; papers must be self-contained without them.
- Authors must guarantee that at least one author registers and attends the conference to present the paper.
- Preprints on platforms like arXiv are allowed, provided they comply with anonymization and dual-submission policies.
- Papers raising ethical concerns must demonstrate adherence to proper procedures (e.g., IRB approval, responsible disclosure) and due diligence to minimize harm.
