Submission Guidelines


Authors are invited to submit full papers (12 to 15 pages in length, including figures, tables and references) and should be written in English. Each submitted paper must contain original and unpublished contributions, not submitted for publication in any other conference or journal.
Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors should register and present orally the paper in the conference.
Authors should consult Springer authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. We encourage Overleaf users to use Springer's proceedings template for LaTeX
