Original Work Requirement
Only original papers directly related to the conference themes, and not published elsewhere, will be considered. All accepted papers will be included in the CS7 Conference Proceedings.
Accepted papers will be presented either in oral parallel sessions or poster sessions, depending on the author’s preference, the reviewer’s recommendation, and registration status. The scientific committee will determine the final presentation format after the submission and acceptance of the paper.
For uniformity in the proceedings, submission guidelines for abstracts, papers, and posters will be provided on the CS7 website (details forthcoming).
