Paper Submission

UCAmI invites high quality contributions describing significant, original and unpublished results for submission in the following categories:

Long papers

Intended to allow presentation of academic research results of high quality. Submissions must contain an original contribution and may not have already been published in another forum, nor be subject to review for other conferences or publications. Contributions should include unpublished results of research, case studies or experiences that provide new evidence about the research or application regarding to the main topics. Articles accepted in this category will be published in the proceedings of the event. All papers should be written in English.

Short papers

Intended to allow presentation of ongoing studies with partial (however, significant) results. Submissions must contain an original contribution and may not have already been published in another forum, nor be subject to review for other conferences or publications. Articles accepted in this category will be published in the proceedings of the event. All papers should be written in English.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

Since UCAmI conference proceedings will be finally published in MDPI Proceedings (ISSN 2504-3900), templates for conference papers are provided by MDPI.

However, If you have already written your manuscript with the previous template provided, you are not required to change it in this current paper submission stage. In case of your paper is accepted (after Notification of acceptance), you will have to adopt the MDPI template for the Camera-ready version.

Lastly, do not be worried about the number of pages because it is only a tentative limit.

Author instructions are here.

Definitive templates are provided below.

Submission Procedure

All submissions should be made by the EasyChair platform and must follow the templates provided above. Details of the paper submission process will be announced soon through the website of the conference. You can submit your paper through the following:
