Authors should note that the papers should be of a maximum of 10 A4 pages (including figures and tables) and manuscripts must be prepared with LaTex2e (llncs2e.zip). Author names and affiliations details should be anonymized during the manuscript preparation so as to enable the peer-review.

DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEW:

MIKE 2021 uses a double-blind review process for paper selection.

  1. Authors should not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, and reviewers should not know the name(s) of the authors.
  2. Please prepare your paper in a way that preserves the anonymity of the authors.
  3. Do not put your name(s) under the title.
  4. Avoid using phrases such as "our previous work" when referring to earlier publications by the authors.
  5. Remove information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs).
  6. Check supplemental material (e.g., titles in the video clips, or supplementary documents) for information that may identify the author's identity.
  7. Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors.

Submission Format:

Papers MUST be submitted in Springer LNCS format, which is the format required for the final camera-ready copy. We will accept:

  • Long papers: with a maximum of 10 pages
  • Short papers: with a maximum of 6 pages

EXTRA PAGES: Authors may include the maximum of 4 additional pages at an extra fee of US$ 10 USD per page (Rs. 600 per page for Indian Authors). In exceptional cases, the author's request may be considered for the waiver of this fee based on the merits of their paper.

 

Both long and short papers will be considered for poster and oral (short or long) presentation at the conference based on the reviewing criteria above. Authors" instructions along with LaTeX (preferred) and Word macro files are available on the web at Springer"s Information for LNCS Authors page (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Authors of accepted papers are required to transfer their copyrights to Springer. All submissions are required to be in electronic format.

Multiple Submission Policy:

Papers submitted to other conferences or journals must state this fact. If a paper will appear in another conference or journal, it must be withdrawn from MIKE 2021. This restriction does not apply to papers appearing in proceedings of specialized MIKE workshops.

Author Registration Policy:
In order for a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one of the authors MUST register for the conference by the camera-ready copy deadline.

Venue

The venue is in Hammamet, Tunisia.
