Paper Submission Types

LNCS style is used for all submissions (see the Springer guidelines, including templates for LaTeX and Microsoft Word). All papers in the conference will be open access.

Paper submissions can be in the following formats (all contributions should be anonymized):

• Full papers need to contain original unpublished research. The page limit is 16 pages in LNCS format, all included. In case of needing more space, a standard method to provide this material to the reviewers, without endangering the anonymity of the submitter is to put a long version of the paper in an anonymous repository, and refer to this in the 16 page paper.
• Work-in-Progress submissions contain ongoing original research. The submission should be max 20 pages in LNCS format or max 10,000 words. Initial submissions are format-neutral. If submissions are accepted, the authors are expected to provide a short summary of their key contributions (max 4 pages in LNCS format). This submission route enables authors to receive feedback on work in progress without pre-empting publication in a different venue (e.g., an academic journal).
• Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) Papers to evaluate, systematize, and contextualize existing knowledge. The papers will be reviewed according to the same standards as other research papers, but the emphasis will be on value to the community rather than novel research contributions. The submission should be max 20 pages in LNCS format or max 10,000 words.
• Short Papers are a maximum of 4 pages long in LNCS format all in. In Tracks 1 and 2, such papers have a smaller contribution than a full paper.
