Information for authors
FedCSIS announces two separate calls for papers: Call for Regular Papers and Call for Position Papers. Communication papers can be submitted to both calls.
Regular papers
Regular papers (full or short papers) should relate to an original research work and discuss concrete research findings. Regular papers could be:
-
Original contribution papers (accepted as full or short papers) describe new research contributions. They define theories and/or build artifacts, describe the related research, and propose a solution validated via scientific methods, such as experiments, analyses, simulations, mathematical proofs or field/case studies.
-
Experience evaluation papers (accepted as full or short papers) present existing experiences encountered in practice. They define related challenges, and propose new scientifically-validated solutions to one or more of those challenges. Papers in this category seek to create innovations based on cutting-edge computer science and information systems capabilities.
After review, papers submitted within the Call for Regular Papers can be accepted in one of the three categories: full papers, short papers or communication papers. Final versions of regular full papers must consist of minimum 8 and maximum 12 pages. Final versions of regular short papers must have minimum of 4 and up to 6 pages. Commmunication papers must have a minimum of 6 and up to 8 pages. More pages can be added to regular full papers, and communication papers, for an additional fee (see details).
Regular full and regular short papers constitute Proceedings of the FedCSIS conference – they are published electronically in a volume of “Annals of Computer Science and Information Systems” (ACSIS) and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. ACSIS Volumes with Proceedings of the FedCSIS conference are submitted for indexation in Web of Science, SCOPUS, DBLP, Index Copernicus and other indexing services (see, Indexation for more details).
Position papers
Position papers are submitted within the Call for Position Papers. Within FedCSIS conferences that represent a very important category of submissions as they are related to an ongoing research or experience. Papers submitted within the Call for Position Papers cannot be accepted as regular papers. However, they will be presented by the authors alongside regular papers. Position papers could be:
-
Challenge papers that propose and describe research challenges in theory or practice of computer science and information systems. The papers in this category must be based on deep understanding of existing research or industrial problems. Based on such understanding and experience, they need to define new exciting research directions and show why these directions are crucial to the society at large.
-
Emerging research papers that present preliminary research results from work-in-progress based on sound scientific approach but presenting work not completely validated as yet. They must describe precisely the research problem and its rationale. They must also define precisely the intended future work including the expected benefits from solution to the tackled problem. Subsequently, they may be more conceptual than experimental.
Papers submitted under the Call for Position Papers must be between 4 and 8 pages at submission. Accepted papers must be at least 6 pages (maximum 8), with the option to purchase additional pages. However, it is possible to purchase extra pages. Position papers are published similarly to communication papers, i.e. in separate ACSIS volume(s) and they are not submitted to the IEEE Xplore DL. They are indexed as per the indexation of the communication papers explained above. More pages can be added to position papers, for an additional fee (see details).
Communication papers
Communication papers can be submitted as a response to the call for regular papers and position papers. They report on research topics worthy of immediate communication. They may be used to mark a hot new research territory, or to describe work in progress, in order to quickly present it to scientific community. They may also contain additional information omitted from the earlier papers, or may present software tools and products in a research state. Commmunication papers must have a minimum of 6 and up to 8 pages. More pages can be added to communication papers, for an additional fee (see details).
Communication papers are published in separate ACSIS volume(s) and they are not submitted to the IEEE Xplore DL. However, they are submitted to all remaining indexing services (see Indexation, for current indexation information).
