Submission Preparation Checklist
- The submission neither has been previously published nor is being reviewed at another conference (or an explanation has been provided in the Comments to the Director).
- The submission file is in Microsoft Word or latex document file format.
- All URL addresses in the text (e.g., http://pkp.sfu.ca) are activated and ready to click.
- All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages including figures and references without incurring additional page charges (maximum 4 additional pages with over-length page charge for an additional fee, if accepted) in the standard IEEE two-column conference format. The fee for the additional page can be seen here. Papers exceeding 10 pages will not be accepted at IWBIS.
- The submission must use the provided template above. The text is single-spaced; uses a 10-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the link above.
- Since IWBIS 2022 is double blind, authors’ names must be removed from submission, with “Author” and year used in the bibliography and footnotes, instead of authors’ name, paper title, etc.
- If submitting to peer review, all Microsoft Office documents (including Supplementary Files) have been saved by going to File and selecting Save As; clicking Tools (or Options in a Mac); clicking Security; selecting “Remove personal information from file properties on save”; clicking Save.
- If the paper is accepted, please submit the camera-ready version in PDF and Microsoft word/latex format.
