Paper Formatting Template

Submitted papers must comply with the format of Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies Serie SIST (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website or download a Word Template or Latex Package) be written in English, must not have been published before, not be under review for any other conference or publication and not include any information leading to the authors’ identification. Therefore, the authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not be included in the version for evaluation by the Program Committee. This information should only be included in the camera-ready version, saved in Word or Latex format and also in PDF format. These files must be accompanied by the Consent to Publish form filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the conference management system.
- All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least two members of the Program Committee. Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by the Conference Chairs. In the later case, it can be accepted as the type originally submitted or as another type. Thus, full papers can be accepted as short papers or poster papers only. Similarly, short papers can be accepted as poster papers only. In these cases, the authors will be allowed to maintain the original number of pages in the camera-ready version. The authors of accepted poster papers must also build and print a poster to be exhibited during the Conference. This poster must follow an A1 or A2 vertical format. The Conference can includes Work Sessions where these posters are presented and orally discussed, with a 5 minute limit per poster. The authors of accepted full papers will have 15 minutes to present their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation. The authors of accepted short papers and company papers will have 11 minutes to present their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 4 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation.

Publication and Indexing

Full and short papers will be published in Proceedings by Springer, in within the series “Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies” SIST Series. Poster and company papers will be published by EMENA. Published full and short papers will be submitted for indexation by ISI Web of Science, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, DBLP and Google Scholar, among others, and will be available in the SpringerLink Digital Library. To ensure that a full paper, short paper, poster paper or company paper is published, at least one of the authors must be fully registered by the 30 th of MArch, 202026, and the paper must comply with the suggested layout and page-limit. Additionally, all recommended changes must be addressed by the authors before they submit the camera-ready version. No more than one paper per registration will be published. An extra fee must be paid for publication of additional papers, with a maximum of one additional paper per registration. One registration permits only the participation of one author in the conference.

Publication Opportunitie of EXTENDED VERSION

Authors of the highest-quality papers will be invited to submit extended versions for consideration in special issues of reputable, peer-reviewed journals indexed in SCI/ISI, Scopus, and DBLP (additional journals to be announced). For this edition, we are piloting the “Publishing First” initiative: selected papers will undergo early identification during the review process, enabling rapid submission to special issues—with publication expected shortly after the conference. Authors will be notified promptly post-conference.

Student Recognition & Opportunities

The conference will award Best Student Paper Prizes to recognize outstanding contributions by student authors, based on originality, technical quality, and potential impact. In addition, selected winners will receive travel grants to support their participation in the next edition of INTELSYST, to be held in Spain in 2027.
