SUBMISSION OF
REGULAR PAPERS:
Prospective
authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading
them to the
evaluation web site at:
Submissions must
be uploaded by March 31, 2015 and must be in either
pdf format
(about 7 pages including all figures, tables, and
references -
single space, font size of 10 to 12). All reasonable
typesetting
formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted
papers will be
asked to follow a particular typesetting format to
prepare their
final papers for publication.) Papers must not have been
previously
published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
The first page
of the paper should include: title of the paper, name,
affiliation,
postal address, and email address for each author. The
first page
should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a
maximum of 5
topical keywords that would best represent the content
of the paper.
The track title must also be stated on the first page of
the paper as
well as a 100 to 150-word abstract. The length of the
final/Camera-Ready
papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column
IEEE style)
pages.
Each paper will
be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for
originality,
significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of
contradictory
recommendations, a member of the conference program
committee would
be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject);
often, this
would involve seeking help from additional referees. Papers
whose authors
include a member of the conference program committee will
be evaluated
using the double-blinded review process. (Essay/philosophical
papers will not
be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels).
The proceedings
will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and
will also be
made available online. The printed proceedings/books will
be available for
distribution on site at the conference. The proceedings
will be indexed
in science citation databases that track citation
frequency/data.
The proceedings/books of SAM annual conferences have
been evaluated
and approved for inclusion into major science citation
index databases
for indexing, integrating, and inclusion into relevant
systems. The
proceedings have also been approved for inclusion into
EBSCO (www.ebsco.com), one of the largest subject index systems.
The
titles of
proceedings of SAM have been indexed into the ACM Digital
Library ( http://dl.acm.org/ ) which includes bibliographic citations
from major
publishers in computing.
In addition to
the above, we have arranged two new book series (multiple
books in each
series); one with Elsevier publishers (Emerging Trends in
Computer Science
and Applied Computing) and another with Springer
publishers
(Transactions of Computational Science and Computational
Intelligence).
After the conference (the process may take 12 to 18
months), a
significant number of authors of accepted papers of our
congress, will
be given the opportunity to submit the extended version
of their papers
for publication consideration in these books. We
anticipate
having between 10 and 20 books a year in each of these
book series
projects. Each book in each series will be subject to
Elsevier and
Springer science indexing products (which includes:
Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex, Engineering Village,
a very small
subset of the books (and journal special issues) that have
been published
based on the extended versions of our congress papers,
see below:
SUBMISSION OF
POSTER PAPERS:
Poster papers
can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same
instructions
that appear above (see, SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS) except
for poster
submission is limited to 2 pages. On the first page, the author
should state
that "This paper is being submitted as a poster". Poster
papers (if accepted)
will be published if and only the author of the
accepted paper
wishes to do so. Please email your poster papers to the
poster
co-chairs:
Hanen Idoudi ( Hanen.Idoudi@ensi.rnu.tn ), or
Esmiralda
Moradian ( esmirald@dsv.su.se
).
PROPOSAL FOR
ORGANIZING WORKSHOPS/SESSIONS:
Each conference
is composed of a number of tracks. A track can be a session,
a workshop, or a
symposium. A session will have at least 6 papers; a
workshop at
least 12 papers; and a symposium at least 18 papers. Track
chairs will be
responsible for all aspects of their tracks, including:
soliciting
papers, reviewing, selecting, ... The names of track chairs
will appear as
Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and on the
cover of the
printed books (and indexed in science databases as such).
Proposals to
organize tracks (sessions, workshops, or symposiums) should
include the
following information: name and address (+ email) of proposer,
his/her
biography, title of track, a 100-word description of the topic of
the track, and a
short description on how the track will be advertised
(in most cases,
track proposers solicit papers from colleagues and
researchers
whose work is known to the track proposer). E-mail your track
proposal to the
Workshops/Sessions co-chairs:
We would like to
receive the track proposals as soon as possible but by no
later than
February 15, 2015.
