Submission Guidelines
Submissions must describe substantial, original and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis must be included. If the paper being submitted is under review at any other venue, the same should be explicitly mentioned when making the submission. Such a paper, if accepted, should be withdrawn from all other places.
Paper Template and Submission
The submitted papers must follow ACM SIG's template available on https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template . The only accepted format of submissions is PDF. Papers which do not conform to the requirements may get rejected without review. Please note that it is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully (we suggest that you try downloading your paper again yourself, to check). There will be two categories of papers:
- Full papers: Full paper submissions should not exceed 6 pages with 2 additional pages for references or appendices if needed
- Short and Demo papers: Short and demo paper submissions should not exceed 3 pages with one additional page for references or appendices if needed
Upon acceptance, authors will be allowed 1 additional page of content in order to incorporate suggestions from the reviewers.
Paper Review Policy
All submissions to FIRE 2019 will be reviewed on the basis of originality, relevance, importance and clarity by at least three reviewers. The review process will be double blind and the authors should not mention their names or institutional details anywhere in the paper. Authors should refer to themselves in third person when citing their own work. Expressions like "In our earlier work..." or "We previously showed that..." should be avoided when submitting the paper for review.
