Submission categories include full paper (up to 8 pages), short paper (up to 4 pages), and poster paper (2 pages). Please note the different deadlines for the different submission categories. The papers must be written in good English, carefully proofread, and formatted to A4, NOT LETTERSIZE, , 2-column following instructions in PDF. The following style files and templates are available for users of LaTeX and Microsoft Word: Details for these templates are described here. Reviewing is DOUBLE-BLIND. This means that the reviewers of the paper won’t get to know the identity of the author(s), and the author(s) won’t get to know the identity of the reviewer.The authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that DOES NOT GIVE AWAY THEIR IDENTITY to avoid desk rejection. Please follow these guidelines while preparing and submitting your paper:
Your paper will be assigned to at least three reviewers for technical evaluation. Publication Policy By submitting a paper the authors confirm that their paper represents original previously unpublished work, and that if accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the paper/poster. The papers, which are registered but not presented at the conference, will not be included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library -- this is the requirement of the publisher. CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS with all accepted papers will be published by Conference Publishing Services as well as submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, IEEE Computer Society Digital Library and reference databases of all major referencing indices including EI Compendex, Scopus and SCI. SPECIAL JOURNAL ISSUES will consider for publications extended versions of the best accepted FULL papers. Remark that we require at least one on-site non-student registration for each paper. This registration policy is not for each presenter: we require two registrations if a single presenter has talks for two papers. The accepted poster papers and posters will require a one-minune fast-forward oral presentation by the presenting author(s) who also have to display and present during the poster session a printed poster (A0 size). The poster authors are also encouraged to set up demos of their works. Paper submissions have to be made at the CW2022 submission web site (Now in preparation). |
