Join us for Springer FAIEMA 2024, the annual forum for presenting excellent results and new challenges facing the field of artificial intelligence. It brings together experts from academia, industry, and government to present their latest research and developments in AI. The conference offers a platform for scholars to share insights and foster collaboration on topics ranging from AI technologies to ethical considerations and their applications across various domains.

Submission Guidelines

Papers submitted to the conference proceedings must follow the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science template (LNCS format). You may read about the formatting guidelines here. A full paper is expected to be less than or equal to 13 pages. Pages beyond the specified limit will have additional charges. The maximum number of additional pages is limited to 2 pages. A short paper can have a maximum of 6 pages. A short paper does not have the possibility for purchasing additional pages and any such paper going beyond 6 pages will be considered a regular full paper. The page limit for all papers includes references. A page is considered to have a maximum of 550 words.

Below, we have listed templates for a proceeding paper for Latex and MSWord word processors. 

• LaTeX2e
• Microsoft Word
• Microsoft Word 2003
• Overleaf

The papers will undergo a single-blind peer review process to ensure that they do not contain any instances of plagiarism and have not been simultaneously submitted to any other conference (i.e., multiple submissions).

Authors should be transparent about the use of AI tools like ChatGPT in their works. We follow the COPE guidelines for the use of AI tools. Furthermore, authors are also expected to follow certain ethical principles when submitting their work. Read more about the prescribed ethical responsibilities of authors set forth by Springer.
