Paper Review and publication
Regular research papers should be submitted on-line as PDF files. Please use our Conference Publishing System (CPS) for paper submission.

CPS requires users to login into the system (for new users please create a new login). If you have any problems submitting papers to CPS, please contact iwapr@gmail.com. For all papers submitted, a separate title page also needs to be submitted. All papers should mention their preferred track from the list above on the title page of the paper. The papers will be reviewed by a minimum of 2 leading academics in the technical area of the submission and will be selected for acceptance based on novelty and contribution to the field.

The authors can submit their initial papers in one of the two following formats:

Camera Ready Paper Format: The authors can submit their camera ready papers in one of the two following formats: LaTex or Word. A maximum of 10 correctly formatted pages is allowed for the complete manuscript. This Link gives details of how to present your paper to be of good quality, especially during Camera Ready paper generation stage (Please use the LaTex Word Folder folder). The original papers can be in LaTex or Word from which a PDF file is generated and submitted for the review process. For the initial review, original LaTex or Word documents are not needed, but these will be required during Camera Ready submission if the paper is accepted.
