SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submissions of technical papers or extended abstracts are welcomed. Each submission will be evaluated for acceptability by at least two members of the Program Committee. Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the above topic list, originality, potential significance, and clarity. Because all accepted papers are to be presented at the conference, we will require that at least one of the submitting authors must be a registered participant committed to attending STIDS 2024.
Submissions are accepted only in electronic format and must closely follow the US Letter version of the IEEE format for conference proceedings. For complete details and to download LATEX or MS Word templates, choose the US Letter size from the IEEE’s Manuscript Template. Technical papers must be between six and eight pages, including figures. Extended abstracts must be no longer than three pages. Submissions outside these limits will not be reviewed. In addition, papers that, at the time of submission, are under review for or have already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference will not be accepted to the STIDS conference.
The EasyChair submission page can be found here.
All papers accepted to STIDS 2024 will be presented during the conference and published in the conference proceedings, which will be available as a separate publication after the Conference.
