Call for contributed scientific communications

All scientific communications presented at ICANN 2016 will be reviewed and scientifically evaluated by a panel of experts. The conference will feature two categories of communications:

– oral communications (15′ + 5′)
– poster communications (on display all the time and 2 hours’ presentation)

Full paper submission
Authors willing to present original contributions as a full paper must submit a manuscript of maximum 8 pages of length. Manuscripts will be reviewed to international standards by, at least, three referees. Accepted papers of contributing authors will be published in Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Abstract-only submission (NEW!)
As a new possibility at ICANN, authors willing to present a contribution for oral communications or posters without submitting a full manuscript must submit a 1-page extended abstract that will also be refereed by, at least, three referees. The abstracts will be published all together in a proceedings section without an author index.
In case of programme constraints the priority will be given to original contributions accompanied by a full paper submission.

How to submit a contribution
The submission process is handled online, through the link at the top of this page.

Types of submissions

  3. abstract-only submission and poster (no talk)
  4. full paper submission and poster (no talk)
