[Scott Fowler]

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of Final Call for iSCI 2019 Short Papers with 10+ Keynotes, 19+ Special Issues, and 13+ Co-Located Conferences/Symposiums/Workshops.

============================== iSCI 2019 ==============================

The 7th International Conference on Smart City and Informatization (iSCI 2019)
November 12-15, 2019, Guangzhou, China

http://isci-conf.org/iSCI2019/ 

Short Paper Submission Deadline: August 20, 2019 (Firm Deadline)

======================================================================

The 7th International Conference on Smart City and Informatization (iSCI 2019) will provide a forum for both academia and industry professionals to present their latest research findings in different aspects of Smart City and Informatization. In addition to full-length regular papers, the iSCI 2019 conference welcomes Short Papers showing innovative and original research in the areas of Smart City and Informatization. Submissions from both industry and academia are strongly encouraged.

Short Papers are expected to report on early or ongoing research activities. The Short Papers session will provide a forum to discuss novel ideas and emerging results, presenting innovative applications and tools, and bring about novel research questions, approaches, and directions.

Submission Guidelines

Short Papers may be 8 - 10 pages in length, or at most 4 additional pages with the pages overlength charge, including figures, tables, and references. If accepted, Short Papers will be considered for possible publication as Regular Papers in author notifications around August 25, 2019. In other words, we will not differentiate Regular Papers and Short Papers in the conference proceedings.

The submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the iSCI 2019 Technical Program Committee. All selected papers will be orally presented in a special conference session. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the conference to present the work. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by Springer LNCS, and will be included in the Digital Library in Springer.

Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in standard Springer LNCS proceedings format (https://www.springer.com/cn/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) through the conference website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isci2019) with PDF format. When submitting, please select the appropriate Track for your paper (i.e., SHORT). Submitted papers must include the contact information of all the authors. Please make sure you use the latest version of the templates to prepare your submissions. Due to the short interval between the notification of acceptance and the camera-ready deadline, we strongly encourage authors to follow the camera-ready formatting guidelines as close as possible.
