SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Regular Papers
Regular submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and
unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis
should be included.
Regular papers may consist of 12 - 15 pages of content including
references. However, page restrictions will not be followed strictly, if
the authors wish to have more explanation of their work.
Short Papers
SPELLL 2023 also solicits short papers. Short paper submissions must
describe original and unpublished work. Short papers should have a point
that can be made in a few pages. Some kinds of short papers are:
- A small, focused contribution
- Work in progress
- Experience notes
Short papers may consist of 6 - 8 pages including references. Short papers
will be presented in one or more oral or poster sessions. While short
papers will be distinguished from regular papers in the proceedings, there
will be no distinction in the proceedings between short papers presented
orally and as posters. However, page restrictions will not be followed
strictly, if the authors wish to have more explanation of their work.
Review Policy
All submissions to SPELLL 2023 will be reviewed on the basis of
originality, relevance, importance and clarity by at least two reviewers.
The review process will be double blind and the authors should refer to
themselves in third person when citing their own work. Phrases like "In our
earlier work..." or "We previosuly showed that..." should be avoided when
submitting the paper for review.
*Author Guidelines*
- Authors must follow the Springer LNCS formatting instructions.
- For camera-ready papers use Latex or Word style
<http://preview.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>
provided
on the authors' page for the preparation of papers.
- The LaTeX Proceedings Template for scientific authoring platform in
Overleaf.
<https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/springer-lecture-notes-in-computer-science/kzwwpvhwnvfj#.WuA4JS5uZpi>
- Each paper will receive at least three reviews. At least one author of
each accepted paper must register by the early registration date indicated
on the conference website and present the paper.
