The Conference accepts only research articles and reviews written in English. Full papers reporting the results of final or ongoing research with a length of 8-10 pages (including figures, tables, and bibliographic references) are welcome. Four is the maximum number of authors admitted for each article and no more than two articles per author.

Submitted manuscripts must be original and not have been presented in other events, nor currently been under evaluation in another event or scientific publication. Also, the contributions should be framed in the field of Engineering, specifically in some of the topics of the Conference. Check topics here.

Manuscripts must comply with the following structure: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, and References. Figures and Tables have to be included in the spot they are intended to be, and not at the end of the manuscript.

To ensure an anonymous peer review, authors must ensure that their names, affiliations or any other information that may reveal their identity do not appear in the body of the manuscript or the file properties. This information will be included by the authors themselves in the camera-ready version of the manuscript.

Authors must prepare their manuscripts using the Word template for Mac and Word template for Pc or Overleaf (LaTeX), and guidelines for Springer Conference Proceedings, indexed Scopus Q4.

In order to verify the thematic adequacy to the Conference, submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by the Chair of each Technical Track. Subsequently, the works will be sent to the Scientific Committee, who will assess the manuscript relevance, originality, and impact. Every submitted manuscript will undergo a double-blind review process. 

All manuscripts submitted for review are inspected by a disciplined anti-plagiarism policy that ensures the originality of the articles. To do this, different special services are used, such as the Turnitin system, which analyzes the texts for grammatical and ortho-typographical matches, which ensures that the works are unpublished and, at the same time, ensures compliance with the standards of editorial quality that guarantee their own scientific production.

Upon receipt of notification of acceptance of the paper by the Scientific Committee, the lead author should prepare a PowerPoint presentation of his work using the following CITIS-template-for-oral-presentation. Also, the corresponding author must fill out this Consent to Publish Form, sign it and upload it to Easychair. 

All papers approved by the scientific committee must be presented orally in the event by at least one of the authors (not necessarily the first one). This will assure the inclusion of the manuscript in the Conference Proceedings.
