HELMeTO 2022

All submissions must be made electronically May 15, 2022, through the  online submission system (EasyChair).

Contributions MUST be in English and should be submitted in the form of an abstract with references (max 2 pages without references).

Please remember to select exactly one track (general or special)  during the submission process on the EasyChair platform.

At least three members of the program committee will review all submissions and will provide an evaluation according to the following criteria:

• originality and novelty
• quality and accuracy
• relevance to the conference
• impact in the fields of the conference
• evidence (theoretical or empirical)
• presentation and clarity

The authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to present their work at the conference. The accepted abstracts will be available in a digital book of abstracts of the Conference (with ISBN).

The authors of the accepted contributions will be invited to submit an extended version of their work in the form of a final full paper (at least 12 pages comprising references). Full papers will undergo a second round of reviews. 

Accepted full papers, whose authors will have attended the conference (at least one registered author) , will be included, free of charge, in the conference post-proceedings, published in Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series, indexed in Scopus and other important indexing databases. 

If the authors desire to publish open access their paper, this is possible through the Springer Open Choice. Authors will have to communicate this to the organization, sign a special copyright form, different from the standard one, and provide the billing address of the authors/their organization for the invoice. Each paper will be invoiced individually.
