Paper Submission

Papers must be original and unpublished, and must not be submitted concurrently for publication elsewhere. All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5″ x 11″ two-column format using 10pt fonts and the IEEE Conference template (downloadable by selecting “Conferences” in the IEEE-Template Selector https://template-selector.ieee.org/). Each submission can have up to 11 pages (including references). Papers exceeding this page limit or with smaller fonts will be rejected without review. The submitted manuscripts should be anonymized for double-blinded review.

The full paper review process is double-blind. Authors are required to take all reasonable steps to preserve the anonymity of their submission. The submission must not include author information and must not include citations or discussion of related work that would make the authorship apparent. While authors can upload their paper to institutional or other preprint repositories such as arXiv.org before reviewing is complete, we generally discourage this since it places anonymity at risk. If authors decide to upload their paper to a preprint site, they must make sure the title and abstract of their submission to ICDCS are different from the title and abstract of the preprint version, so that it is not immediately obvious the two versions are the same paper.

If your submission is accepted for publication, up to 2 over length pages may be purchased for the final camera-ready version. For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to pay a full author registration and attend the conference to present their work on site. No-show paper will be reported to the publisher and removed from the conference publication. For authors with multiple papers accepted by the conference, a separate author registration is required for each paper.
