Oral Presentation Instructions

Contributed oral presentations are 15 minutes long, including 5 minutes for questions and discussion. The paper must be presented by one of the authors or co-authors. Presentations should be made using either your laptop or the PC provided in the session room (Windows system with PowerPoint). Please bring your laptop or a USB drive containing your presentation file. A volunteer will be available to assist in starting each presentation.

Remote Presentation Instructions

If you are unable to attend the conference due to an emergency or if your English proficiency is insufficient for a live presentation, we offer the following alternatives:

• You can record a voice-over PowerPoint presentation and send it to us. And in the conference day you can connect to the conference via Zoom/Skype. We will run your sound recorded .ppt presentation and you will answer the audience's questions via Zoom/Skype.
• You can watch the video to get an idea about pre-recorded PowerPoint presentation.

Poster Presentation Instructions

While there is no strict size limit for posters, they should not exceed 5 ft by 2 ft. You are responsible for providing your own printed poster. One of the paper's authors or co-authors must be present and available for discussion during the poster session. Posters will be displayed in the conference room.
In the first instance, we require everyone who wishes to submit their work to the conference to submit an abstract describing the proposed paper, work in progress, presentation, etc. The abstract submission form will guide you through the process but we recommend you read the call for papers first to ensure you select the correct track and submission type.

Submitting an Abstract

• The maximum word limit for the abstract is 350-500 words.
• Your submission must be in English.
• We encourage you to send a complete, informative abstract which is a compendious summary of a paper's substance including its background, purpose, methodology, results, and conclusion.
• Please submit a brief biography along with the abstract.

Submitting a Full Paper

Prospective authors are invited to submit full text papers including abstract, keywords, introduction, methodology, results, tables, figures, and references.

• Before submitting your paper, ensure it has been thoroughly checked for typographical and grammatical errors. If English is not your first language, have your paper proofread by a native English speaker. Papers will be returned if the standard of English is deemed insufficient for publication.
• All submitted articles should report original, previously unpublished experimental or theoretical research results.
• Articles submitted to the Conference should meet these criteria and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
• Manuscripts should follow the style of the Conference and are subject to both review and editing.

Paper acceptance criteria

Papers lacking an original research contribution will be rejected. Similarly, papers that are poorly written to the point of being unintelligible, or those exhibiting extensive self-plagiarism, will also be rejected. All submitted papers will undergo a double-blind review process by at least two reviewers selected from the conference committee.
