Authors are invited to submit original research for possible presentation at the conference. Each paper will be evaluated on significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. It should clearly establish the research contribution, its relevance, and its relation to prior research.
Submission Server and Deadline
Paper submissions will be handled through EasyChair. Please use the following link to submit your paper:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sagt2024
The submission deadline is May 21, 2024, 23:59 AoE (extended).
The expectation is that at least one of the authors of each accepted paper will attend SAGT and give a presentation for the work. However, we are open to consider the possibility of remote talks in exceptional circumstances (due to, e.g., visa/travel issues) provided that at least one author has registered to the conference.
Submission Format
Submissions may be up to 18 pages long (excluding title page and references) in single-column format, using at least 11-point fonts, single-spacing between lines, and at least 1-inch margins all around. In addition, an appendix may be included at the end of the paper and will be read at the discretion of the reviewers. Submissions deviating significantly from these guidelines may be rejected without review.
Authors are strongly encouraged to structure their paper in a way that includes a clear presentation of the merits of the paper and a discussion of the importance of the results, as well as an exposition of the key conceptual and technical ideas.
The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) proceedings volume in the ARCoSS subline. Accepted papers will be allocated at most 18 pages (including title page and references) in LNCS format in the proceedings. Please note that the LNCS format has much wider page margins. We recommend that authors use the LNCS format (provided as part of Springer's LaTeX2e package) to prepare their submission, but this is not a requirement for the submission. Please refer to Springer's Information for Authors for detailed guidelines on how to prepare the final manuscript.
To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, authors of accepted papers can choose to publish a one-page abstract of their paper in the proceedings. The paper must then provide a URL referring to the full version of the paper; authors should guarantee the link to be reliable for at least two years. Such papers must be formatted and submitted just like regular papers (as described above).
Results previously published or presented at another archival conference prior to SAGT, or published (or accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline, will not be considered for publication as regular papers. Simultaneous submission of regular papers to another conference with published proceedings is not allowed. Simultaneous submission of results to a journal is allowed only if the authors intend to publish the paper as a one-page abstract in SAGT 2024.
Best Paper Award
There will be a SAGT 2024 Best Paper Award, accompanied by a prize of 1000 Euro offered by Springer.
