Submition Guidlines for the 26th Panhellenic GASCM conference.

The abstract and paper submission period is now open for prospective authors of 26th Panhellenic GASCM conference. Authors may submit either an abstract or a full paper by the submission deadline. Detailed style and formatting instructions can be found in the paper format section.

Each submission will be double-blindly peer-reviewed by at least three experts. This requires the paper to be anonymous so please follow carefully the instructions for the double-blind review. 

A paper submission implies that, every author will agree with specific policies and if the paper is accepted, one of the authors, or a proxy, will present the paper at the conference. Submissions not using the Springer templates or disclosing identity of the authors will be rejected without review.

All papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format following the detailed submission instructions. 

All accepted papers will be published

Camera Ready Submission

For the camera ready submission, the authors must upload to the CMT the following:

  • The camera-ready version of the paper in PDF format, following the instructions provided in the section “Paper Format” below.
  • A Copyright Statement, signed by the corresponding author of the paper that can be found here.  

Each paper must be covered by at least one author’s registration no later than the Conference paper camera-ready deadline. When registering a paper please use the paper ID provided.

Paper and Abstract Format

The layout of the papers must be prepared according to the Instructions for the Preparation of Camera-Ready Contributions to CCIS Proceedings. Authors submitting an abstract should follow the same instructions. Authors are asked to pay extra attention to these instructions. In addition to the Springer author instructions, authors should ensure that the submitted paper meets the following criteria:

  • The paper must not exceed 14 pages in the CCIS format. Up to 4 additional pages are allowed with an extra cost of 50 euros per additional page. The font sizes must conform with the CCIS instructions.
  • Document formats:
    • PostScript, without encoding or condensation.
    • Level 3 or 4 PDF without passwords or encryption.
    • MS Word or other word processor formats will not be accepted.
  • The fonts used must meet the following criteria:
    • All fonts must be from the Latin 1 Fontset.
    • Except for the 13 basic PostScript fonts (Times-Roman, Helvetica, Courrier, Symbol), every font used must be included.
    • If possible, include only outline (Type 1 or TrueType) fonts, not bitmapped fonts.

Prepare for Double-Blind Review

All reviewing will be double blind, so the paper must not include any information, which allow the authors to be identified. Please consider in particular the following points to ensure a double blind reviewing process:

  • Author name(s) should not appear in the paper (including the abstract):
    • First, “Paper ID”, as allocated upon registration of the paper, must replace author names and affiliations
    • Eliminate references to your institutions, your sponsors, and your unpublished work.
    • If you build on your own published work you should give the complete reference (including your name) but talk about this work as if it were somebody else’s.
    • Always make clear what the contributions/differences are with respect to (your own and others’) prior work.
  • All author names must be inserted into the online submission form.
  • Delete author and institution information from document properties.

Policies

Dual/Double Submissions

By submitting a manuscript to 26th Panhellenic GASCM conference, the authors guarantee that it has not been previously published or accepted for publication in substantially similar form in an archival peer-reviewed forum. Furthermore, no paper which contains significant overlap with the contributions of this paper is either under review at the moment of submission or will be submitted during the 26th Panhellenic GASCM conference review period to any of the following: another conference, a workshop, or a journal. Note that a Technical Report (departmental, arXiv.org, etc.) that is disseminated without any form of direct peer-review is NOT considered a publication. The authors also attest that they did not submit substantially similar submissions to 26th Panhellenic GASCM conference. Violation of any of these conditions will lead to rejection.

Author’s Responsibilities

If there are papers that may appear to violate any of the above conditions, it is the authors’ responsibility to (1) cite these papers (preserving anonymity) and (2) argue in the body of your paper why your 26th Panhellenic GASCM conference paper is non-trivially different from these concurrent submissions.

Conflict Responsibilities

It is the primary author’s responsibility to ensure that all authors on their paper have registered their conflicts into CMT. Conflicts are needed to resolve assignments to both reviewers and area chairs. If a paper is found to have an undeclared conflict that causes a problem, the paper may be summarily rejected.
