Submissions
Submission Preparation Checklist
Paper Submission Guidelines
For invited speakers: You must submit a 1-page or longer summary (official template) by the abstract submission deadline. Uploading a full paper (optional) is not required, but you may submit one at any time up to 26 June.
For all authors: Submissions must include a paper of at least 2 pages (official template) by the abstract submission deadline. If accepted, authors may optionally upload a full paper up to 26 June. During submission, authors will be able to indicate their preferred presentation type (oral or poster). Please note that selecting “oral” does not guarantee an oral slot. With 1000+ submissions expected, it is not possible to satisfy all preferences. The conference committee will make the final decision in the fairest possible manner, based on program constraints and overall balance.
Proceedings policy: If a full paper is uploaded by 26 June, it will be included in the proceedings. Otherwise, the proceedings will include the submitted summary / short paper (the latest version uploaded).
Note: The Technical Program Committee and reviewers will rigorously screen for plagiarism and duplicate submissions.
Submission Requirements:
- The submission file must be in PDF format
- The text must adhere to the stylistic and formatting requirements outlined in the Conference Template
- A 50-word abstract must be included within the paper
