Submission Instructions

Electronic submission is done through EasyChair. All papers should be prepared in LaTeX and formatted according to the requirements of Springer's LNCS series (the corresponding style files can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). By submitting a paper the authors agree that if it is accepted at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it.

Submission is via EasyChair the submission URL for CICM 2016 is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cicm2016.

Submissions to the research tracks (Calculemus, DML, MKM) must not exceed 15 pages in the LNCS style and will be reviewed and evaluated with respect to relevance, clarity, quality, originality, and impact. Shorter papers, e.g., for system descriptions, are welcome. Authors will have an opportunity to respond to their papers' reviews before the programme committee makes a decision.

System and Data descriptions must not exceed 6 pages in the LNCS style.

A project description should be between 4 and 15 pages, depending on the size and impact of the project. Details of the publication are to be determined. We currently plan that the accepted conference submissions from all tracks will be published as a volume in the series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) by Springer. In addition to these formal proceedings, authors are permitted and encouraged to publish the final versions of their papers on arXiv.org.

Work-in-progress submissions are intended to provide a forum for the presentation of original work that is not yet in a suitable form for submission as a full paper for a research track or system description. This includes work in progress and emerging trends. Their size is not limited, but we recommend 5-10 pages.

Work-in-Progress submissions are via Easychair with the keyword Track: Work in Progress (and possibly the intended topical track).

The programme committee may offer authors of rejected formal submissions the opportunity to publish their contributions as work-in-progress papers instead. Depending on the number of work-in-progress papers accepted, they will be presented at the conference either as short talks or as posters. The work-in-progress proceedings will be published as a technical report, as well as online with CEUR-WS.org.
