Paper Submission

Papers are submitted using the EasyChair system; the submission portal will open as the deadline approaches.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other venue with formally published proceedings. Information about submissions may be shared with program chairs of other conferences for that purpose. Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgement or obvious references. Each submission must begin with a title, short abstract, and a list of keywords. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. All submissions must follow the original LNCS format with a page limit of 20 pages (incl. references). Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference and must make a full version of their paper available online. Submissions not meeting the submission guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. It is strongly encouraged that submissions be processed in LaTeX.

Work-in-progress papers are welcome, and such submissions can expectedly be less than the maximum page limit of 20 pages. Submissions less than 10 pages, however, are discouraged as there is not enough space for appropriate technical content presentation. Authors are required to include "WiP:" in the title of a work-in-progress paper submission.

Conflict of Interest:

It is the full responsibility of all authors of a paper to identify all their potential conflict-of-interest PC members, and to e-mail the names of these PC members to the PC chairs until the submission deadline. Papers with incorrect or incomplete conflict of interest information as of the submission closing time are subject to immediate rejection. We share the same definition of conflicts of Interest with ACNS'24. A paper author has a conflict of interest with a PC member if and only if one or more of the following conditions holds:

  1. The PC member shares an institutional affiliation with an author at the time of submission;
  2. The PC member was the advisor or advisee of an author at any time in the past;
  3. The PC member has collaborated or published with an author in the prior two years;
  4. The PC member is serving as the sponsor or administrator of a grant that funds the research of an author;
  5. The PC member is a close personal friend or family member of an author.
