Contributions
The abstract and paper submission process is handled by Microsoft CMT service.
All authors whose abstract is accepted will be invited to submit a full paper.
We warmly welcome two types of conference papers:
- Scientific Scopus conference papers, recommended length 6-8 pages
- Technical/practical papers, not necessarily applying scientific methods, but presenting case studies, practical applications and project introductions, recommended length 2-4 pages
Both scientific and technical papers will undergo the review process by the scientific committee, however with different criteria. Purely commercial presentations are not accepted.
All accepted papers will be invited to give an oral or poster presentation at the event.
