Call for contributed scientific communications

All scientific communications presented at ICANN 2018 will be reviewed and scientifically evaluated by a panel of experts. The conference will feature two categories of communications:

– oral communications (full papers: 15′ presentation + 5′ questions, short papers: 10′ presentation + 5′ questions.)
– poster communications (on display for ONE DAY during the Poster Session and the 2 hours’ presentation)

Full paper submission
Authors willing to present original contributions as a full paper must submit a manuscript of maximum 10 pages of length (with references included). Manuscripts will be reviewed to the international standards by independent academic referees.
The review process in ICANN 2018 will be Single Blind. We accept manuscripts longer than 10 pages but the cost is 100 Euros per each EXTRA page.
Accepted papers of contributing authors will be published in Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Short paper (extended abstract) submission
Authors willing to present a contribution for oral communications or posters without submitting a full manuscript must submit a short paper (minimum 2 pages and maximum 8 pages, with references included) that will also be refereed by academic referees. The accepted short papers will be published in the proceedings.
