Submission Guidelines

Paper format

• The submission of the papers shall be accepted in the Springer format.
• The papers must not exceed a page limit of 12-14 pages in any manner in the single page – single column format supported by Springer. Any paper exceeding this page limit will be outright rejected.
• The papers are to be submitted at the submission link within the last dates mentioned in the conference paper schedule.
• All further enquiries about the status of the paper can be made at the conference email –ngndai[at]mnnit.ac.in

Review Process

The review process is double-blind. Therefore, please do not mention your names and affiliations of institutions/companies in your submission. Also, do not include funding sources or other acknowledgements in your papers.

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three regular PC members or two senior PC members. The acceptance decisions will take into account paper novelty, technical depth, elegance, practical or theoretic impact, and presentation based on the following parameters:

• Originality: The paper presents a new idea, issue and application; discusses existing research with its possible research gaps and a suggestive mechanism to fill it up using a new strategy.
• Engaging: The presentation format engages the audience most creatively, or has a great potential to attract conference attendees by pinpointing the needs of the research community.
• Significant: The paper must have incorporated the issues important to resolving the inefficiencies of the existing techniques for relevant problems, and to provide solutions most simply and effectively.
• Quality: Claims are supported by sufficient data; it should be based on relevant experiments and simulations with appropriate theoretical foundations based on published literature. Limitations of the conducted experiments are to be described comprehensively.
• Clear: The intended outcomes of the paper are simple and easily understood.
• Relevant: The paper addresses one or more of the themes of the conference.
