Submission Information

Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference management system.

We request the authors to use the LNCS style (single column format) using either the LaTeX document class or Word template. For details on the author guidelines, please refer to Springer's website. Incorrectly formatted papers will be excluded from the reviewing process. Submission must be made as a single PDF file which includes all figures and bibliography.

Submissions are accepted under the following two categories:

Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. It should not be submitted in parallel to any other conference or journal.

At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a participant of the workshop and present the paper at the workshop.

Each research paper will be taken through a comprehensive peer review process by an internationally recognized group of experts in the field. Papers will be evaluated along the metrics of a) Quality of Presentation; b) Novelty / Originality; c) Relation to State of the Art; d) Technical Strength; e) Significance of Work; and f) Relevance to Workshop. Every effort will be made to ensure that each paper receives multiple reviews.

Please contact the Program Chairs for any questions / clarifications.

Proceedings Information

The papers accepted to be presented in ExaComm'17 will be published in a separate, post-conference joint ISC workshop proceedings volume, published online with Springer Publishing. The idea about post-conference proceedings is that they give the authors the flexibility to adjust their contributions slightly based on the feedback given during the workshops.

The camera ready versions need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference management system. The link to the submission site will be provided soon.

Page limits for full and short papers are as follows
