Submission Details

Authors are invited to submit papers in one of two categories:

Full Papers: These paper must present mature contributions and are limited to 8 pages.
Extended Abstracts: These shorter papers (limited to 4 pages) concern on-going research that are worth being presented at the conference.

Submissions will be thoroughly peer-reviewed by at least two referees and accepted contributions are expected to be presented at the time of the conference. All accepted contributions will be included in the conference proceedings and are eligible for submission in the journal special issue following the conference.

Formatting Guidelines

Both Word templates and Latex styles are available from here. We will only accept PDF file that have been formatted using these formatting styles.

Special Issue

Post conference, there will be a call for papers for a special issue of Journal of Scheduling.

Journal of Scheduling is a well-reputated journal with high standards in the field of Scheduling (ranked Q1/Q2 according to Scimago). It provides a perfect support for the publication of research from both young or more experienced researchers.

Researchers who present their work at the conference will be encouraged to submit an extended version of their research to the special issue. The publication of the this issue is expected within the next months following the conference.
