Call for Journal-to-Conference Track

    Last Update
  • 08/Jan/2023

This year, we think about experimenting with a new Journal-to-Conference track, through which the authors of published journal articles at selected journals would be given the opportunity to present their work at the IPIN conference. This initiative is inspired by the NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML Journal-to-Conference track, where published articles are eligible for presentation at sponsoring conferences.

As an initial experiment, this track will be considering published articles from the IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation (J-ISPIN), for presentation at IPIN 2023.

Eligibility

Eligible articles must: Have been published at J-ISPIN before 30.05.2023. Not contain contributions that have already been published at a conference by the same authors (especially not IPIN). In other words, the journal article cannot be an extension of a previous IPIN conference paper publication (avoid redundant presentations). This first cycle of the "J-ISPIN to IPIN" track will be used to gather experience with this format and determine whether and how future cycles for this track should continue.
