Submissions must be in the form of a single PDF file prepared using
Springer's LNCS style file

ALGOCLOUD 2021 asks for the following types of submissions:
- Regular paper submissions: authors are invited to submit
high-quality manuscripts reporting original unpublished research in
the topics related to the symposium. A regular paper submission should
clearly motivate the importance of the problem being addressed,
discuss prior work and its relationship to the paper, explicitly and
precisely state the paper’s key contributions, and outline the key technical ideas and
methods used to achieve the main results. A regular paper submission
should not exceed 12 pages including title page and abstract, but
excluding references and an optional appendix. Authors should include
all necessary details in their submission so that the Program
Committee can judge correctness, importance and originality of their
work. Any material (e.g., proofs or experimental results) omitted
(from the main part of 12 pages) due to space limitations can be put
into the optional appendix, which will be read at the Program
Committee's discretion. Regular papers will be allotted up to 20 pages
in the proceedings.
- Short paper submissions: a short paper submission may present
work-in-progress on a specific topic, or work appeared elsewhere (but
is worth publicizing it in the symposium), or a demonstration of a
system or library, or an experience/use-case paper, or a vision paper.
Authors should clearly motivate the importance of their contribution,
discuss prior work and its relationship to the paper, and in general
provide sufficient details in their submission so that the Program
Committee can judge the quality and importance of their work. A short
paper submission should be at least 2 and at most 8 pages. Short
papers will be allotted up to 8 pages in the proceedings.
- Survey paper submissions: a survey paper submission concerns the
write-up of a high-quality survey paper on an emerging hot topic.
Authors are asked to submit a proposal between 5 and 10 pages that
clearly motivates the importance of the topic, and contains the
structure of the survey paper along with the most important references
that will be critically reviewed and presented. If the proposal is
accepted, then authors will be given sufficient time (until end of
October 2021) to prepare the full version of their survey paper that
needs to pass a quality control check by the PC, in order to be
finally accepted and appear in the proceedings. Survey papers will be
allotted up to 40 pages in the proceedings.
All papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair
submission system at:
Submissions website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=algocloud2021
By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of
acceptance at least one of the authors must register at ALGO/ALGOCLOUD
2021 and present the paper (this holds for all types of papers,
including accepted survey proposals).
Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ instructions
and
use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX
or for
Word,
for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to
include their ORCIDs in their papers.
In
addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of
all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a
Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the
copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the
paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to
the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are available in
Overleaf
.
Accepted papers will be included in the post-proceedings published by
Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Awards will be given to the best regular paper and the best student
regular paper. A regular paper is eligible for the best student paper
award if at least one of the authors is a full-time student (Bachelor,
Master, or Ph.D.) at the time of submission and the student(s) must
have made a major contribution to the paper. The program committee can
decide to decline or to split the awards. Awards are sponsored by
Springer.
