Peer Review Process

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. DOCX or DOC file format are accepted.

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

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.

Archive Access Policy

The presentations that make up the current and archived conferences on this site have been made open access and are freely available for viewing, for the benefit of authors and interested readers.
