CALL FOR PAPERS

- STT 44 encourage submissions of high quality and timely contributions from all scientific disciplines.

- Registration and submissions must be performed via the online submission system.

- Two types of contribution are accepted: abstract or full paper (will be published in a proceedings book). Both must be prepared in English (see examples and templates on the website). Contributors must decide between the two types of submission at the first submission. However, in the event that a contribution intended to be a full paper is incomplete or of insufficient quality, only the abstract may be accepted.

- All submissions are subjected to peer review. Although the review results will be notified by e-mail, we strongly encourage participants to regularly log in to the system after the deadline for the announcement of interim decision (31 July 2018 15 August 2018) to ensure prompt revision of the work (if any).

- The formal acceptance of both abstracts and full papers will be announced at the same time (i.e., 31 August 2018 15 September 2018).

No change of the paper type and content will be allowed after the acceptance.

All contributions must follow the guideline below:

i) All contributions must be original and has not been submitted or published elsewhere in largely identical forms. Contributions that contain plagiarized contents are unacceptable and, if detected, will normally lead to rejection.
