PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not under review for any other conference, workshop, or journal. Papers must be written in English. The contributions should address research questions that relate to one of the topics listed above.
Submissions will be evaluated by at least three program committee members. The evaluation will mainly focus on the novelty of the ideas, the importance to the fields, the soundness of research methods, and the overall quality of presentations. For this track, papers may present work supported by preliminary evidence only.
The submitted papers may be a maximum of 8 pages in length. All submissions must adhere to the
CEUR-WS.org template (
https://bit.ly/tex-era-coopis25) and should be submitted in PDF format.
Each accepted paper must have one of its authors registered to the conference before the camera-ready deadline. The conference organizers reserve the right of removing a paper from the proceedings if no author is officially registered by the camera-ready deadline. Moreover, only papers that have been presented by their authors during the conference will be published in the conference proceedings.
It is mandatory to submit manuscripts in electronic form (in PDF format):
