Submission and Reviewing
***********************************
All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA 2021
EasyChair submission page. Prospective
authors should select the thematic track to which their paper is to be
submitted. The papers should be prepared
according to the Springer LNCS format, with a maximum of 12 pages. Some
thematic tracks (see each track
specific page) may accept short papers (max 6 pages). Submitted papers will
be subject to a doubleblind
review process and will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the
respective track Program
Committee. It is the responsibility of the authors to remove names and
affiliations from the submitted papers, and
to take reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process.
Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their
proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or
for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors
to include their ORCIDs in their
papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on
behalf of all of the authors of that paper,
must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author
signing the copyright form should
match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have
been sent to Springer, changes
relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

***************************************

Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings (a volume of
Springer’s LNAI-Lecture Notes in
