Submission

Papers for the technical track must be submitted via the EasyChair conference system, written in English, and contain original material that has not been published or and is not currently undergoing review elsewhere. Papers should not exceed 8 double-column pages, including figures and references. Papers must use the new ACM article template (when using the overleaf ACM template choose the sample-sigconf.tex file and add on the top the following command: \documentclass[sigconf, review, anonymous]{acmart}).

Papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts from the technical program committee following a double-blind review process (i.e., the identity of the reviewer and the authors’ names and affiliations are hidden, therefore, the SUBMISSIONS SHOULD BE ANONYMISED). The papers will be evaluated based on relevance, soundness, novelty, and potential impact.

Accepted papers will be listed on DBLP and published via the ACM Digital Library. Cases of plagiarism or multiple submissions will be subject to disciplinary action as per ACM rules and regulations.
