https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=besc2023
All papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to BESC 2023, originality, significance and clarity.
Please note:
- All submissions should use IEEE two-column style. Templates are available from https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
- All papers must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system in PDF format only. BESC 2023 accepts research papers (6 pages), special session papers (6 pages) and Doctoral Symposium papers (4 pages).
- The page count above excludes the references.
- Paper review will be double-blind, and submissions not properly anonymized will be desk-rejected without review.
- Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.
- Papers must be clearly submitted in English and will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation.
