Instructions for Camera Ready Submission

Step 1. Registration

For each accepted paper, at least one author must register for the conference by May 16, 2024. One registration fee includes the publication of one paper. Additional papers of the same author are subject to an extra fee.

You can find more information about the registration in this link.

Step 2. Preparing the documents

Authors of accepted submissions may choose between publishing the full paper or only the abstract. If the paper was accepted as Poster, only the abstract will be included in the proceedings.

Full papers:

  • If you want your paper to appear as a full paper in the proceedings, then you should prepare the camera-ready version using the UPV Press template.
  • The paper length must be strictly between 4 and 8 pages including the abstract (A4 size).
  • Before logging into the OCS platform, ensure that you have three documents prepared:
    • The paper in .docx format, including the changes suggested by the reviewers and following strictly the page limits and the format instructions in the UPV Press template.
    • The paper in PDF format, generated from the .docx file.
    • A PDF file with a signed and scanned copy of the Statement of work ownership and assignment of rights for the publication of conference proceedings, which is available here.

Abstracts (and posters):

  • If you want that only the abstract appears in the proceedings, then you should prepare the camera-ready version using only the first page of the UPV Press template.
  • The abstract length must not exceed strictly one page (A4 size).
  • Before logging into the OCS platform, ensure that you have two documents prepared:
    • The abstract in .docx format, following strictly the page limits and the format instructions in the UPV Press template.
    • The abstract in PDF format, generated from the .docx file.
