Author's instructions

PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR REVIEW

WoWMoM 2019 is using the EDAS Conference Management Software. Submit manuscripts conforming to the guidelines given below.

Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted or under review for publication elsewhere. Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field will review submitted papers to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference program. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by IEEE press.

Note: For accepted papers, attendance and presentation by one of the authors is mandatory.

Full Papers

Submissions may be up to 9 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or greater. For the camera-ready (accepted) papers, authors can buy one additional page, i.e. up to 10 pages.

For guidelines regarding formatting, please refer to the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

Short Papers

Submissions may be up to 6 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or greater. For the camera-ready (accepted) papers, authors can buy one additional page, i.e. up to 7 pages.

For guidelines regarding formatting, please refer to the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

Workshop Papers

Workshop papers follow the same rules as short papers.

Work-in-Progress Papers

Work-in-progress papers provide a peer-reviewed forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. Work-in-progress paper submissions may be up to 3 pages in length (including figures and references), with the option of purchasing one extra page upon acceptance, formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or greater.

Authors of unsuccessful full paper submissions, where relevant and appropriate, could be invited to consider the publication of their contribution as a work-in-progress paper (in that case authors would need to agree to shorten their paper according with the work-in-progress paper length).

PAPER SUBMISSION OF REGISTERED PAPERS

Use the EDAS link for pdf upload that you received with your paper registration.

Camera-ready Submission Instructions
