ICAI aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in all topics related to informatics. Submitted papers should be related to one or more of the main topics proposed for the conference:
Authors must submit an original full paper (12 to 16 pages) that has not previously been published. All contributions must be written in english. Authors should consult Springer's authors' guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for MSWord (http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines), for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each accepted paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a License to Publish form, through which the copyright for their paper is transferred to Springer. The first anonymous version must be submitted in PDF
We encourage Overleaf users to use Springer's proceedings template for LaTeX .
All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 experts. Authors must remove personal details, acknowledgments section and any other information related to the authors' identity. In addition, all submissions will be screened by Turnitin. Papers with overal similarity index over 20% or single source similarity index over 10% will be rejected without revision.
CCIS is abstracted/indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, SCImago, Scopus. CCIS volumes are also submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings.
ICAI follows the policy established by Springer in the post: Open access policies for books -> Self-archiving and manuscript deposition -> Self-archiving of books and chapters published non-open access -> Preprints. It states: "... authors may deposit a portion of the preprint in a recognised preprint server such as arXiv, biorXiv, or RePEc. The preprint means the version of the author’s manuscript prior to acceptance for publication which has not undergone editorial and/or peer review on behalf of the Publisher (when applicable). Preprints must not be archived/deposited under a Creative Commons licence, such as a CC BY licence..."
Consequently, a paper submitted to ICAI may not be the same version as the paper deposited in a repository such as arXiv, biorXiv, or RePEc. Thus, the paper deposited in a repository may be an old version of the paper submitted to ICAI.
