If you wish to have your abstract presented online and your extended abstract (if any) considered for publication in the proceedings and/or the special issues (full paper), we offer a virtual presentation option for your convenience. Virtual presenters are expected to record a voice-over PowerPoint (more details will be sent after online registration) and submit the file online (link will be sent after payment of the registration fee) shortly after 20 November 2020.

Virtual presenters are thus required to submit an abstract and, if they wish, an extended abstract (short paper) for publication in the proceedings before the deadline (see Important Dates), and at least one author must pay the registration fee. An amount of 150 EUR should be paid for each additional (accepted) abstract/extended abtract (see “More information” below). The fees cover the costs of the editorial handling and peer-review evaluation of your short paper(s) through the conference evaluation system. Your conference documents will be sent to your email after the conference.

If your extended abstract (short paper) is accepted, it may be published in the conference proceedings by Springer even if you are not attending / presenting at the conference. In this case, a fee of 200 EUR must be paid before the deadline of 20 November 2020. An amount of 150 EUR should be paid for each additional accepted paper (see “More information”). The fees cover the costs of the editorial handling and peer-review evaluation of your short paper(s) through the conference evaluation system. The accepted short paper(s) will be published in the proceedings but will not be included in the final conference program (see Author Guidelines and Publications for more details).
