Instructions for the Camera-Ready Version

Please take the comments made by the reviewers carefully into account when preparing your camera-ready paper for the proceedings. The final paper and the signed copyright form are due on August 8, 2021. This is a firm deadline for the production of the proceedings.

Final paper

Please submit the files belonging to your camera-ready paper using the personalized CAU cloud link you received.

Please upload the following:

The maximum page limit is 14 pages for long papers and 8 pages for short/demo papers.

Appendices will be left out of the proceedings, so please remove any appendix from your final paper but make sure that it will be available online (Arxiv, personal webpage, etc.).

Please follow strictly the author instructions of Springer and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, when preparing the final version. Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are available in Overleaf. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.

Our publisher has recently introduced an extra control loop: once data processing is finished, they will contact all corresponding authors and ask them to check their papers. We expect this to happen shortly before the printing of the proceedings. At that time your quick interaction with Springer-Verlag will be greatly appreciated.

Mandatory Registration

At least one registration is required for each accepted paper to be included in the final proceedings. If an author has multiple papers, one registration is sufficient. Please register by TBD.

Copyright

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. A pre-filled Springer copyright form can be found here. 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.

Please upload a signed and completed copyright form using your EasyChair author account. You can scan the form into PDF or any other standard image format. Springer does not accept digital signatures on the copyright right forms at present.

Authors employed by US Government contractors or US Government departments may have to sign an alternative form. It is imperative that such authors contact their legal departments and also get in touch with us as soon as their paper has been accepted.

Sincerely,
Nora Reyes and Richard Connor, Program Chairs
Daniyal Kazempour, Publication Chair
