Submission Guidelines

Accepted papers will be published by Springer as part of their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Electronic paper submissions are accepted in two categories: full papers and work in progress papers. Full papers have a length of up to 16 pages, while work in progress papers have a maximum length of 8 pages. Both full and work in progress papers appear in the proceedings. Papers should follow the Springer LNCS templates at:http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0.

Submission Site

We use a double-blind reviewing process. Please, do not include the author’s name and affiliation or any other type of information that may disclose the authors in the submitted paper itself. As a result of the reviewing process, the Program Committee may suggest changes in the format and/or the contents of the paper, including the category of the paper. In this case, a paper will be conditionally accepted. The Program Committee Chairs will decide on the final acceptance or rejection based on a second analysis of the revised paper. The papers should be submitted via EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=criwg2018.

Journal Special Issue

The authors of the best papers presented at the Conference will be invited to submit extended versions to a journal special issue. In the past, Special issues were published in the Journal of Universal Computer Science (open access), Information Systems Frontiers, International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems, and E-Services Journal.
