All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality, presentation and relevance through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Therefore, the authors are required to preserve the anonymity of submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including their own.

Special Track for PhD Scholars

Apart from submission in the regular tracks above, PhD scholars are encouraged to submit long papers(10-14 pages) with significant research content for a special PhD track. Such submissions will undergo a stringent review by a committee which comprises one international expert and atleast two Indian experts. Papers accepted and presented in this category may possibly be considered equivalent to an SCI-indexed publication for research scholars in IIITs for the award of PhD degree. The guidelines for submission in PhD track are similar to those in regular tracks.
