Papers Submission

Paper Formats, Submission and Publication

The conference will accept original research papers only. All papers should be original research work, present analysis of data and discussion of research findings. Full papers must not have been previously published or submitted for publication. Full papers must not exceed 6 A4-size pages.

Papers must be presented by the authors

Some short papers may be submitted as demo papers and presented as demonstrations of software tools and products. They should be describing non-for-profit software tools and in a prototype-, alpha-, or beta-version. Short papers must not exceed 4 A4-size pages.

Papers should be submitted using the on-line submission procedure briefly described below. The guidelines for paper formatting provided at the conference website must be strictly used for all submitted papers. The submission format is the same as the camera-ready format. The Program Committee will review all papers and the contact author (the author who submits the paper) of each paper will be notified of the result, by e-mail.

PDF format is preferred for the papers but LaTeX/PS/DOC/DOCX/RTF formats will be also accepted. The web submission facility automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author. Please contact the secretariat if no acknowledgement is received. If the author is unable to use the web-based procedure then he/she can send the paper by e-mail to the secretariat attaching an additional file with contact information and paper related topics.

Due to space limitations in the Proceedings, the camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be limited to 6 (six) pages for full presentations and 4 (four) for short presentations. If absolutely needed, the number of pages may be increased up to a maximum of 10 pages (long presentations) and 6 pages (demo presentations). However, for each page in excess of the maximum allowed, the author will have to pay an additional fee.

All NSEC full and short papers will be published in time for the conference in the digital library of ACM under an ISSN reference, on paper (NUST Journal of Engineering Sciences) and on CD-ROM form.
