ICAT 2019 invites high-quality submissions in different areas in the field of computer science. The research papers must describe novel and original work that pushes the state-of-the-art. Case studies and empirical research papers are also welcome.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to ICAT Topics.

We kindly recommend to present your submissions in the section structure as follows:

Introduction

Material and Method

Results

Discussions

Conclusions

Important Dates
Abstract Submission: September 22, 2019.
Paper Submission: September 29, 2019.
Acceptance Notification: October 31, 2019.
Camera Ready: November 22, 2019.
For accepted papers, it is necessary to fill, print, sign, and scan the copyright form.
Authors Registration (Open): October 20, 2019.
ICAT Conference: December 4-6, 2019.

Submissions
Submitted papers must have been neither previously accepted for publication nor concurrently submitted for review in another journal, book, conference, or workshop.
Research papers and state-of-art/review/systematic literature on all conference topics should be formatted according to the Springer CS Proceedings (LNCS) format. Downloadable templates: Word or Latex. Information for Authors of Springer Computer Science Proceedings. We encourage users to use Springer’s proceedings template for LaTeX in Overleaf.
All submissions must be in English (12-15 pages; including figures and references).
Important note: ICAT 2019 follows a full double-blind review process. Therefore, authors must remove personal details and should also ensure that citations to their own work are written in the third person (i.e. do not write ”our previous work”; use ”the previous work of X”). And moreover, it is recommendable five authors as a maximum per paper.
Authors are required to ensure the accuracy of quotations, citations, diagrams, maps, and tables. Figures and tables need to be placed where they are to appear in the text and must be clear and easy to view.
Submissions that do not comply with the above guidelines may be rejected without review.

Papers that have a strong industrial/practical component and focus more on impact rather than (technical) novelty are encouraged to consider the industry track instead.

Papers must be submitted through the conference EasyChair submission site in PDF format.


Evaluation
At least three program committee members will evaluate submissions. The evaluation will focus on the novelty, originality, importance to the field, proper use of research methods, and presentation of the submissions. We strongly encourage authors to make available all data and software they use in their work, in order to allow for verification and replication of their results. Moreover, all submissions will be examined by using iThenticate to avoid any plagiarism case.


Post Conference Publication and Indexing
ICAT 2019 – Research Track proceedings will be published in Springer with Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series and submitted for indexing to DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, Scopus, and ISI Proceedings.
