Publication

Post-conference publication will include both a post-conference book (planned to be published by Springer in the AICT series) and a special issue of a journal of the Japanese Computer Society.
Full papers, short papers, and papers arising from an academic presentation in accepted symposia will be considered for publication in the post-conference book, according to the following criteria:

  • If you submit a full paper, the reviewers will assess initially whether the submission is worthy of inclusion within the conference. If the paper is accepted for presentation, and only requires minor revision, then it will be judged worthy of being accepted for publication in the post-conference book.
  • If you submit a full paper that is accepted for presentation, but requires major revision, a further review process is undertaken following the conference in order to assess whether it can be accepted for publication in the post-conference book.
  • If you submit a short paper, the reviewers will assess initially whether the submission is worthy of inclusion within the conference, but acceptance for publication in the post-conference book will be decided following the conference. Acceptance of a short paper for publication will depend on the number of short papers that can be accepted for the post-conference book.
  • If you submit a full or short paper following an academic presentation in one of the accepted symposia, the reviewers will assess after the conference whether the submission is worthy of inclusion in the post-conference book.
If you submit an abstract, the reviewers will assess whether the submission is worthy of presentation ithin the conference. No assessment will be given to indicate whether the submission should be judged worthy of inclusion in any post-conference publication (with the exception of papers arising from symposia, as noted above).
Abstracts of all accepted submissions will be published online as part of the conference programme.

The Local Organising Committee offers an alternative publication opportunity (a special issue of the Japanese Computer Society journal that accepts papers in English) for submissions (in the above-mentioned formats) that will not be included in the post-conference book. Details about this option will be sent to authors of papers which were not accepted for the post-conference book, after the post-conference review process is completed.
