Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has not previously been submitted or published in any other venue. Regular, workshop/special session, and poster papers need to be submitted via weblink: Call For Papers - Conference (udst.edu.qa)
Advanced topics are especially encouraged to cover the three pillars of sustainability i.e., economic, environmental, and social responsibilities and implications. This conference will showcase the integration of technology with sustainable practices to promote UN-SDGs.
Papers should be prepared in IEEE CS Proceedings format. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements. Best Paper Awards will be presented to high quality papers.
Research Papers (Long Paper)Research paper (6-8 pages) should explore novel models, theory, or a specific technology problem and propose a complete solution to it, with experimental results.
Work-in-Progress Papers (Short Paper)Works-in-Progress (WIP) (4-6 pages) papers are expected to present either work currently in progress or less developed but highly innovative ideas.
Poster papers (2-4 pages)Some papers originally submitted as full papers can be accepted as short papers or posters during the review process.In such cases, the authors will need to reduce the paper accordingly when preparing the camera-ready version. At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register and present the paper at the conference.
