Instructions for authors

Here are instructions for authors to submit their paper or poster. Instructions for presentations and posters are given on the general info page.

Paper submission

Manuscripts must be submitted on the IPIN 2019 submission page according to the following instructions and the deadlines shown in the side box. Deadlines are intended at 23:59 AoE.

IPIN 2019 has a single-stage submission and peer review process with two types of submissions:

• Regular Papers: max 8 IEEE pages, oral presentation is required
• Work-in-Progress (WiP): 5-8 LNCS pages, poster presentation is required, oral presentation may be required

Papers undergo a single-blind review process by at least two reviewers. Accepted regular papers are submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library, while accepted WiP papers are submitted to CEUR-WS.org, which is currently indexed by Scopus, Ei Compendex and DBLP.

After a paper is accepted, minor revisions may be requested; if this is the case, authors are required to apply them for the final camera ready submission.

Important

• Papers in excess of 2 papers per full author registration are not included in the conference proceedings
• Regular papers whose authors do not show up at the conference are removed from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library
• Work-in-Progress papers whose authors do not show up at the conference are removed from the CEUR-WS.org database

Preparing your camera-ready Regular Paper

Regular papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format. They must be written in English according to the IEEE submission template and formatting guidelines, must include author names and affiliations on the front page and the conference header on all pages.

Accepted papers must fully comply with the IEEE conference format for the final camera-ready submission. To ensure compliance, PDF manuscripts must pass the check against IEEE PDF eXpress. Papers that fail the check or exceed the 8 page limit may be rejected without further review.

Here is a checklist for submitting your camera-ready Regular Paper manuscript:

• modify your manuscript (if necessary) following the reviewers' recommendations
• check that your paper is no longer than 8 pages
• check that you are using A4 page size
• apply the instructions for adding the conference header
• apply the instructions for embedding the Copyright Clearance Code (CCC) notice
• do not apply page numbers
• go to the final submission page: you will find instructions to create the IEEE copyright form and check your paper through the IEEE PDF eXpress service
• upload the completed copyright form and the checked paper

Preparing your camera-ready Work-in-Progress paper

WiP papers are submitted to CEUR-WS.org, which is currently indexed by Scopus, Ei Compendex and DBLP. You should ensure that you follow the LNCS format when preparing and uploading the final camera-ready version of your submission. Your paper should be no less than 5 and no more than 8 pages long in A4 format.

Here is a checklist for submitting your camera-ready Work-in-Progress manuscript:

• modify your manuscript (if necessary) following the reviewers' recommendations
• check that your paper is no shorter than 5 and no longer than 8 pages
• check that you are using A4 page size
• complete the copyright transfer form, sign it and scan it
• on the final submission page upload the completed copyright transfer form and the paper
