Paper Submission Guidelines

Paper Format

The submitted paper must be formatted according to the guidelines of Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Paper Length

Normal paper: Submitted papers must be no longer than 8 pages including all figures, tables and references.

Abstract paper: Upon many suggestions we received, we decided to offer a new way to contribute to the conference. In addition to the classical submission type (original unpublished work in Springer LNCS style, not exceeding 8 pages), authors can now also submit abstract papers, i.e. original or already published work which might be relevant in the scope of the conference (not exceed 2 pages, in Springer LNCS style).

The authors of an abstract submission can choose to present their work as an oral or as a poster presentation during the conference. To select a poster presentation, please send an e-mail with the title of your submission and your name(s) to julien.lepagnot@uha.fr. Without this information from the authors of an accepted abstract, it will be scheduled as an oral presentation by default.

Notice that an abstract submission will appear in the conference proceedings, but will NOT appear in the Springer LNCS post-proceedings. However, the authors of an original unpublished work accepted as an abstract will have the possibility to submit an extended version of their paper, after the conference, for possible inclusion in the Springer LNCS post-proceedings.

Paper Submission

Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically using the online conference management system in PDF format before the deadline.

The submission system is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsibo2016. If you have used this system before, you can use the same username and password. If this is your first time using EasyChair, you will need to register for an account by clicking "I have no EasyChair account" button. Upon completion of registration, you will get a notification email from the system and you are ready for submitting your paper. You can upload and re-upload the paper to the system by the submission due date.

Publication

All accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentations and will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected papers will be published as a post-proceedings in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (indexed by EI, ISTP, DBLP, and ISI). At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and attend the conference to present the work.
