ISC 2023 Call for Research Papers

PLEASE NOTE: The Call for Research Paper is closed.

The ISC organizers will again sponsor the Hans Meuer Award, which recognizes the most outstanding research paper, selected by members of the research paper committee. The Hans Meuer Award includes a cash prize of 3,000 Euros for the paper’s authors.

Submitted research paper proposals will be reviewed by the ISC 2023 Research Paper Committee, which is headed by Abhinav Bhatele, University of Maryland, USA, as Chair.

SUBMISSION & REVIEW PROCESS

Submission (December 23, 2022 11:59 pm AoE)

Submission Guidelines

Paper submissions must be formatted using LNCS style (see Springer’s website) and adhere to the following guidelines:

Note that a membership on a program committee does not inherently create a conflict of interest to submit a paper.

Review Process

  • Each paper is expected to receive a minimum of 4 reviews
  • Double-blind peer-review will be used
  • Papers will be evaluated based on novelty, fundamental insights, clarity of presentation, and potential for long-term impact

The Research Paper Committee reserves the right to reject incorrectly formatted papers.

Rebuttal Phase (February 11-15, 2023)

  • Initial reviewer comments will be made available to authors
  • Authors can respond to clarify misunderstandings and answer questions
  • Rebuttals will be submitted in written format and will have a tight deadline
  • Authors will receive additional instructions via email

Final Decision (February 24, 2023)

  • All reviews and rebuttals will be considered by the paper’s track committee
  • Live reviewer discussions will occur during the research paper committee meeting
  • A consensus-driven approach will be used to select the strongest papers
  • Notification of the papers’ outcomes will be sent to authors after the program committee’s meeting

 

TERMS & CONDITIONS

  • ISC 2023 is planned as an in-person conference from May 21 to May 25, 2023, in Hamburg, Germany. By submitting a research paper, the submitter agrees that one of the authors of the paper will present the work at ISC 2023 in Hamburg, Germany. For unforeseen circumstances that would prevent the chosen speaker from attending the event, the submitter/speaker should contact ISC organizers and the research paper chair as soon as possible to discuss different options.
  • The research paper sessions will be held from Monday, May 22, through Wednesday, May 24, 2023.
  • Every paper presenter needs to submit a short, pre-recorded summary video of the paper prior to the conference.
  • Presentation slides will be available within the event platform for registered attendees only.
  • Paper presenters need to be registered ISC 2023 participants. For accepted papers, one author is eligible for a complimentary conference participation pass.
  • Travel, accommodation, registration fees for other authors, and other such expenses will not be covered by the ISC organizers.
PUBLICATIONS

Conference Proceedings

All accepted research paper will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.  There are no fees related to the publication of accepted papers by Springer. The papers will also be available to download from Springer’s website for a limited time after ISC 2023. 

Authors may also opt to publish open access versions of their papers through Springer if desired. Please refer to Springer’s website for further information and pricing.

Paper submissions are required to be no more than 18 pages in LNCS style. For the camera-ready version, authors are automatically granted two extra pages to incorporate reviewer comments.
