Submission Guidelines

All attending authors have to have a full registration at the conference (visit the conference's website for more details on the registration).

Papers not exceeding 6 double-column pages, including figures must be submitted via EasyChair, written in English, and contain original material that has not been published or is currently undergoing review elsewhere.

Papers must use the new ACM article template (when using the overleaf ACM template, choose the sample-sigconf.tex file). Accepted full papers will be presented during the workshop in 8 min presentation + 2 min Q&A style. Short papers (up to 2 pages) are encouraged to report novel and creative ideas that are yet to produce concrete research results but are at a stage where community feedback would be useful. Accepted short papers will be presented at the workshop as One-slide pitches.

Papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two experts following a double-blind review process (therefore, the submissions should be anonymized). The reviewers will evaluate the novelty and originality of the research, assess the degree of innovation in addressing challenges or presenting new concepts, determine the significance of the research contribution to the broader field and analyse the potential impact on advancing knowledge or practical applications. Based on the review comments a decision would be made and conveyed to the contributors.

At least one author of an accepted submission must attend the workshop.
