PCI 2019 encourages the submission of high quality papers with original content in the following tracks:
· Research Paper: full paper (8 pages) describing original and unpublished results of conceptual, empirical, experimental, or theoretical work in all areas of Computer Science.
· Research Project Results: extended abstract (2 pages) presenting the results of funded completed or ongoing research projects at national or European level.
· Industry: extended abstract (2 pages) presenting novel industrial solutions, success stories, and challenges that are encountered in an industry setting when adopting IT technologies.
Templates for submissions can be found at the ACM SIG proceedings website: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=Y29tcHV0YXRpb25hbC5zY2llbmNlCQk...
Papers should be submitted via EasyChair (link to be available on the conference web site). The submitted research papers and extended abstracts will be peer-reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance to scope of PCI, originality, significance, and clarity. Note that submitted papers should have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere.
The working language of the conference is English and the papers should be written in that language.
As in previous years, the final version of the research papers accepted for presentation at PCI 2019 will be published by ACM in the ICPS Series (pending approval) and will be included in the ACM Digital library. The accepted extended abstracts will be allocated either a demo or poster slot during the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper or abstract is expected to register, attend the conference and present their contribution.
