Preparing your paper
Please note that manuscripts receiving “major revision” or “minor revision” decisions are not considered fully accepted until all required revisions have been satisfactorily completed and approved by the reviewers and editors.
Authors must strictly follow the formatting guidelines established for the conference proceedings. Manuscripts that do not comply with the required formatting standards may be returned for correction and may not be considered for submission to the publisher.
The conference organizers are not authorized to edit or modify submitted manuscripts. Therefore, authors are fully responsible for the final formatting, language quality, technical content, and compliance with the publication requirements.

Authors must prepare their papers using Microsoft Word or LaTeX, according to the guidelines and templates, and then convert these files to PDF. It is important to ensure that when you submit your final manuscript, it is in its final form ready for publication, and has been thoroughly proofread. Neither publisher nor organizer copy edit or reformat the papers. We will not send out author proofs prior to publication. Post-publication changes are not possible, so please ensure that your manuscript has been checked for errors.
