ICOFT 2020 - MADE@NITPY: International Conference on Future Technologies 2020 (ICOFT 2020) in Manufacturing, Automation, Design and Energy” (MADE@NITPY) National Institute of Technology Puducherry Karaikal, India, December 28-30, 2020

About Conference

Our first international conference aims to provide an effective platform for the active participants from the academia, industries and research institutes to connect and discuss the recent advances in Manufacturing, Automation, Design and Energy.

The international conference shall also create a multi-disciplinary summit that transcends departmental, institutional, industrial, public and private research organizations across the globe. It also lends itself to the integration of research and education in the pioneering field of Mechanical Engineering

Objectives

• Convene the subject experts around the globe to imbibe technical knowledge to the participants in the allied branches of Mechanical Engineering.

• To provide a platform for the advancement of current knowledge in the field of Manufacturing, Automation, Design and Energy.

Submission Guidelines

• Both abstracts and papers must report a substantial advancement in the field of mechanical engineering that is both original and significant.

• Category I (Abstract Submission): The length of the abstract shall not exceed 1300 characters and shall be published in an abstract book. One of the authors is scheduled to attend the conference in order to make a brief presentation of the work. Submissions should highlight the new results in order to allow the Program Committee to make an assessment of the work.

• Category II (Full Paper Submission): Regular paper submissions shall not exceed 8 (eight) pages inclusive of bibliography. One of the authors is required to attend the conference to make a full presentation of the work.

• Formatting instructions for all papers: they must be written in English and use templates that can be downloaded from the conference website. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process.

• All submitted abstracts and papers will be subjected to a "similarity test". Papers achieving a minimal similarity index i.e. less than 20% will be examined, and those are deemed unacceptable will be rejected/withdrawn without a formal review.

Policy of Plagiarism

• Authors are requested to kindly refrain from plagiarism in any form. Authors should submit their original and unpublished research work not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

• Manuscript found to be plagiarized during any stage of review shall be rejected.

• As per copyright transfer agreement, authors are deemed to be individually and collectively responsible for the content of manuscripts published by them.

• Hence, it is the responsibility of each author to strive for the highest ethical standards with respect to plagiarism.
