Proceedings
Papers will be published by ACM ICPS and available through ACM’s Digital Library and indexing in Scopus. Also, the conference proceedings will be submitted to Web Of Science.
The Submission of a paper implies the intention of at least one of the authors to register and attend the conference to perform a spoken presentation. Papers accepted and presented at the conference by one of the authors will appear in the conference proceedings. Artworks accepted for exhibition will be published in the conference proceedings provided the authors submit an appropriate short-paper description of each artwork.
Note that the conference adopts face-to-face participation, so remote presentation of papers will be allowed in justified cases only.
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM’s Digital Library and indexed in Scopus. As an alternative, independent researchers and artists can have their papers published open access at Zenodo.
Important note to authors about the new ACM open access publishing model:
- ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.
