Virtual presenters are expected to record a voice-over PowerPoint (more details will be sent after online registration) and submit the file online (link will be sent after payment of the registration fee by the deadline). Virtual presenters are still required to submit an abstract and, if they wish, an extended abstract before the deadlines (see Important Dates), and at least one author of each accepted abstract must pay the registration fee. Your conference documents will be sent to your email after the conference.

  • If your extended abstract (short paper) is accepted, it may be published in the conference proceedings by Springer (ASTI series, indexed in Scopus) even if you are not attending the conference.
  • In this case, a fee of 200 EUR / 820 AED (150 EUR / 615 AED for participants from low and lower middle income countries) must be paid before the deadline (see Important Dates). The fee covers the costs of the editorial handling, peer-review evaluation, publication, and indexation of your paper (see Author Guidelines and Publications for more details).
  • Your extended abstract that will be published in the proceedings will not be included in the final conference program. Accordingly, it will not be considered for publication in the special issue(s) (see “Additional information” below for more details).

Additional information

  • To be included in the final conference program, at least one author of each accepted abstract must register online to attend the conference and pay the registration fees by the deadlines (see Important Dates and the "Payment terms" below for more details).
  • To be considered for the special issue(s), one author of each accepted abstract must present the work in-person or virtually to allow our session chairs to evaluate it.

However, to be considered for publication in the proceedings, at least one author of each accepted extended abstract must register online and pay the registration fees by the deadlines (see Important Dates and the "Payment terms" below for more details).
  • If multiple abstracts by the same presenting author are accepted for presentation in the final program, an amount of 150 EUR / 615 AED should be paid for each additional abstract.
  • It is possible to attend the conference (in-person or online) without submitting an abstract after registering and paying the registration fee online.
