SUBMISSIONS, REVIEWS, AND SELECTION
Authors interetsed to present their work at the IWST 2024 are invited to
submit an abstract of the intended talk before the extended abstract
submission deadline. The extended abstract should be not longer than 2
pages following the CEUR ART style [1].
Author of the submitted extended abstratcs will be notified and invited
to present their work by the extended abstract notification deadline
which enables presenters to register at the early registration prices.
Authors of the accepted abstracts are also invited to submit a paper to
be subject of the review and a potential acceptance for publishing in
the IWST 2024 Proceedings.
We are looking for papers of two kinds:
* Short position papers (5 to 10 pages) describing fresh ideas and
early results.
* Full research papers (more than 10 pages) with deeper description of
experiments and of research results.
Paper accepted for publishing will be published within a CEUR-WS
Proceedings [2]. Hence, both submissions and final papers must be
prepared using the CEUR ART style [1].
All submissions must be sent via EasyChair submission page [3].
Pay attention, for organisation constraints, when submitting your
article you are expected to register to the conference and pay the
conference fees.
REVIEWING
As the workshop format encourages bringing fresh ideas and early results
to be presented and discussed, and aims for giving a chance to young
community members to learn and grow, we will allow submissions with a
discussion potential to be conditionally accepted. In this case, authors
are expected to follow the recommendation of the reviewers.
Consequently, the reviewing process will be organized in two rounds:
* in the first round, all submissions will be reviewed by at least 3
reviewers. Based on these reviews authors will receive a notification
with reviewers comments, advises, and requirements and papers that are
not rejected will be invited to be resubmitted in an improved form
together with change log and answrers to the reviewers.
* in the second round, PC chairs in collaboration with the reviewers
where needed and possible, will evaluate the improved paper version and
notifiy authors about final decision on acceptance/rejection.
BEST PAPER AWARD
To encourage the submission of high-quality ideas, contributions, and
papers, the IWST organizing committee is very proud to announce a Award
competition in the categories of BEST IDEA, BEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE
COMMUNITY and BEST PAPER FOR THIS EDITION OF IWST.
The ranking will be decided by the program committee during the review
process and by the audience voting during the conference.
The awards will be given during the ESUG conference social event.
The Awards will take place only with a minimum of six submissions.
Notice also that to be eligible, a paper/abstract must be presented at
the workshop by one of the author and that the presenting author must be
registered at the ESUG conference.
