SUBMISSIONS
Submissions should comply with the paper guidelines set out below. All submissions must be original work, not previously published elsewhere, and not currently submitted to any other conference or journal.
Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the symposium to present the work. Note also that it is insufficient for an author to register for the symposium to be regarded as fulfilling this obligation.
All submissions will be subject to a double blind peer reviewing process. Please ensure that any identifying information is removed from all submissions (such as author names, references to unpublished work, or citations such as "In [3], we ...") to ensure that the authors remain anonymous.
Full papers
Full papers should describe new contributions or analyse research issues. Submissions should be at most eight pages long (around 3000 words); over-length submissions risk immediate rejection. Refer to the paper guidelines below for details of the required format.
Posters, short papers and industry status reports
To encourage participation by industry and to provide a place for work of a more speculative nature, ADCS invites submissions for short papers, up to a maximum of four pages (around 1500 words). A typical proposal might describe a leading-edge solution to a practical problem in document management or search. Short papers should follow the same format as for full papers.
Presentation of short papers will be via a poster session. Accepted short papers will also be included in a separate section of the symposium proceedings.
Submission System
Full and short papers are to be submitting using easychair using the URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adcs2016.
