   MS Word TEMPLATE

The preliminary paper submission format is the same as the final paper (camera-ready) submission format.
Authors are requested to not modify the given template while formatting their final paper (camera-ready) submission. Each submission will be analyzed and if any formatting error is found, it may be sent to the authors for proper re-formatting.
If the template is not used then the authors have to assure the correct papers formatting otherwise the final paper (camera-ready) submission may not be accepted for inclusion in the conference proceedings.

ON-LINE SUBMISSION PROCEDURE*

Authors should submit an original paper in English or French, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, using the on-line submission procedure. The abstract must be  written in English.
Papers that are out of the conference scope or contain any form of plagiarism will be rejected without reviews.

1. Preliminary Paper submission (for review)

A preliminary paper presents a work where the research is completed or almost finished (it could be an extended abstract). It may be accepted as a "full paper", a "short paper" or a "poster".

A "double-blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper, WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors. This means that is necessary to remove the authors personal details, the acknowledgements section and any reference that may disclose the authors identity. PDF or DOC file format are accepted.

The web submission procedure automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author.

2. Final Paper (Camera-ready) submission (for publishing)

After the preliminary paper reviewing process is completed, the contact author (the author who submits the paper) of each paper will be notified of the result, by e-mail. The authors are required to follow the reviews in order to improve their paper before the final paper (camera-ready) submission and inclusion in the conference proceedings. Only PDF file format is accepted (for help converting a DOC file into a PDF file you may click here).
