SNDS invites submissions containing original ideas that are relevant to the scope of the conference. Like other conferences, SNDS requires that papers not be submitted simultaneously to any other conferences or publications; that submissions not be previously published in peer-reviewed conferences; and that accepted papers not be subsequently published elsewhere. Papers describing work that was previously published in a peer-reviewed workshop are allowed, if the authors clearly describe what significant new content has been included.

Authors should submit their papers online. We use EDAS system for submission of papers and review process. Unregistered authors should first create an account on EDAS to log on. Detailed usage instruction on EDAS can be found here. The manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format. All submitted papers will be subjected to a "similarity test" by EDAS paper similarity checker. Papers achieving a high similarity score will be examined and those that are deemed unacceptable will be rejected/withdrawn without a formal review.

Conference proceedings will be published by Springer in Communications in Computer and Information Science Series(CCIS), ISSN: 1865:0929. CCIS is abstracted/indexed in ISI Proceedings, Scopus, EI and DBLP. The contents will be included in the CCIS electronic book series hosted in the SpringerLink digital library.

Paper Length: 12 pages maximum

Springer Author Guidelines: PDF

Springer CCIS Manuscript Template: (Word format, LaTeX format)

All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. Acceptance of papers will be communicated to authors by email. All the accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. At least one full paying author of each accepted paper must register for the Conference before the indicated deadline.
