For Authors
How to Submit
Submissions are made online through the Microsoft Conference Management Toolkit (CMT). Prepare your manuscript, export it as a PDF, and have your author details ready.
There is no submission fee and no publication or article-processing charge.
How It Works
Submitting in three steps
1
Prepare your manuscript
Follow the manuscript requirements listed on this page. Remove author-identifying information for the double-blind review.
2
Export to PDF
Check that all figures render correctly, fonts are embedded, and the file does not exceed 10 MB.
3
Complete the online submission
Upload the PDF and enter the title, abstract, keywords and details of all authors.
The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
