Paper Submission Guidelines
This announcement is
ONLY for those who MISSED the opportunity to submit their papers
in response to earlier "Call For Papers". Therefore, authors who
have ALREADY submitted papers in response to earlier "Call For
Papers" should IGNORE this announcement.
We welcome contributions through
late breaking papers in form of regular papers of up to 7
pages, double-column IEEE style, and position papers of 4 pages which will be presented in
plenary presentations. In addition, we welcome abstracts & poster papers
of 2 pages which will be presented in informal poster sessions.
The three current categories for submissions are defined as
follows:
-
LBP -
LATE BREAKING PAPERS
describe
late-breaking/recent developments in the
field. The maximum number of pages is 7.
If accepted, the length of the
final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages and
the author will be given the opportunity
to present the paper in a formal
session.
-
PP - Position Papers
enable
discussions on emerging topics without
the
experimentation normally present in an
academic paper. Commonly,
such papers will substantiate the
opinions or positions put forward
with evidence from an extensive
objective discussion of the topic. The
maximum number of pages is 4. If
accepted, The length of the
final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 4 (two-column IEEE style) pages and
the author will be given the opportunity
to present the paper in a formal
session.
-
APP -
Abstract/Poster Papers
describe research roadmaps (similar to
PhD
plan or PhD
prospectus). The maximum number of pages
is 2. If accepted, The length of the
final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 2 (two-column IEEE style) pages and
the author will be given the opportunity
to present the paper in a
discussion/poster session.
General Guidelines (Draft Papers)
|
Prospective authors are
invited to submit their draft paper (page

column IEEE style)
(file
size limitation:
5.0
MB).
Submitted papers should not have been previously
published nor be currently under consideration
for presentation or
publication elsewhere.
Different to practice at
some
other WORLDCOMP'16
conferences and
different from the announcement in WORLDCOMP's
general CfP, DMIN uses an online conference
management and paper submission system, to which
the draft papers must be submitted online,
in IEEE-format and exclusively as a
PDF-file (no doc(x) etc.).
Please follow
the formatting instructions for the draft
paper:
-
Paper Size: US Letter format (8.5" x
11") or A4 (210 X 297
mm)
-
Paper Length: Maximum 7
pages (according to the above mentioned
paper categories), including figures, tables &
references
-
Paper formatting: double column, single
spaced, 10pt font.
-
Margins: Left, Right, and Bottom: 0.75"
(19mm). The top margin must be 0.75" in
(19 mm), except for the title page where
it must be 1" (25 mm).
-
The first page must include:
-
Title
of the paper
-
Name,
affiliation, postal address,
and email
address of each
author (identify the name of the
contact author)
- Abstract
(between 100 and 120 words)
-
Underline the name of the author who
will be presenting the paper (if
accepted) - This will not be
required for the camera ready
version!
-
a maximum of
5
topical keywords
that would best represent the
work described in the paper
-
The
actual text of the paper can start from
the first page (space permitting)
Violations
of any of the above paper specifications may
result in rejection of your paper!
You may download preliminary
information on the IEEE style below. Please
consider, that although these files are IEEE
information for submissions to the WCCI'06
conference, they are also the requirement for
DMIN.
This information may be updated for the final
camera ready submission to the WORLDCOMP
online paper collection system.

Code of
Ethics for Authors
Prologue:
In 2014, the congress had
received 48 paper submissions that were in clear
violation of common
CODE OF ETHICS FOR
AUTHORS.
These 48 papers
were found to include various levels of plagiarized
materials or unauthorized uses of copyrighted materials.
The 48 papers were detected by the congress referees at
the very early stages of evaluation. These papers were
rejected and copies of the reports of the violations
were provided to the authors' supervisors and employers.
Since the vast majority of the authors who violated the
code of ethics were either students or young scientists,
their employers/supervisors arranged for them to
participate in an ethics course/workshop offered/organized
by their institutions.
Unfortunately, author violation of
code of ethics is becoming more common. Although, many
consider such codes to be common knowledge, most major
publishers, journals, and conferences have decided to
post a common CODE OF ETHICS FOR AUTHORS on their
web sites; see examples at:
In a committee meeting, it was decided
unanimously to follow the practice of the above
publishers by making available the congress’s CODE OF
ETHICS FOR AUTHORS and all related issues to stake
holders. Please see below.
Authors
who violate the CODE OF ETHICS FOR AUTHORS shall
be subject to a graduated scale of penalties which may
include: reporting to the author's supervisor; reporting
to the author's employer; providing a copy of the
author's formal letter of apology to the stake holders;
reporting to other publishers; prohibition of
publication for one to three years (depending on the
seriousness of the violation.) Authors will be fully
accountable for their violations (including any and all
costs associated with such violations.)
In
order to take corrective actions against authors who
violate the publication ethics, the congress requires
that the Contact/Corresponding authors of papers provide
(in the manuscript), their professional email address (i.e.,
on institution's/employer's servers); if an author has
to use a freely available email address such as gmail,
hotmail, ... then the provided email address must have
web footprints to the author and to his/her institution
on the web: such as the homepage of the author at his
institution's servers which includes the author’s email
address, ...).
Author violations
include but not limited to:
-
The
use of any diagrams, figures, pictures, tables, or
illustrations that belong to third parties without
permission from the owners.
-
The use of copyrighted materials
without permission.
-
Plagiarism at various levels:
un-credited verbatim, significant self-plagiarism;
un-credited and improper paraphrasing of pages or
paragraphs that have already been published; ...
-
The paper/manuscript/poster
submitted by the author is NOT a legitimate
scientific article and/or violates common ethics.
Examples include, but not limited to: topics are not
relevant; falsified results/work; results are not
reproducible; commercial article; use of profanity;
inclusion of inappropriate pictures; inclusion of
pictures of faces of people without their permission
(in particular, for papers that present "face
recognition" algorithms).
-
Falsification of any kind.

Online Submission of the Draft
Paper
To submit your paper please visit the online conference
system for DMIN'17
hosted by Conference Master (extended Deadline for
Submission is May 28, 2017. Please click on the button below to access to
the DMIN conference management system
for submitting draft papers (Late
Breaking Papers, Position Papers, Abstract/Poster
Papers):
If you want to submit
your paper to a special
session, please select an appropriate 'track' within
the paper submission system as well as an appropriate
paper category (LBP,
PP or APP only).
Please do not send papers by email!
Emailed submissions will be rejected without further
notification.
Review Process
Papers will be evaluated for originality,
significance, clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be
refereed by two researchers in the topical area. To
reflect upon feedback from last year we will extend the
constructive feedback given within the review. Please
consult the pages for the
Review Process for additional
Information.
We
particularly encourage submissions of industrial
applications and case studies from practitioners. To
reflect the requirements of an application or project
centric case study presentation, these will be subject
to different review criteria. In particular, they will
not be evaluated using predominantly theoretical
research criteria of originality etc., but will take
general interest and presentation stronger into
consideration. The camera-ready papers will be reviewed
by one person.
Final Papers -
Registration and Submission
Author instructions and
links to important websites will be provided by the
notification of acceptance.
Conference Proceedings
The proceedings will
be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and
will also be made available online. The printed
proceedings/books will be available for distribution
on site at the conference. The proceedings will be
indexed in science citation databases that track
citation frequency/data for each published paper.
The proceedings/books of this congress have been
evaluated for inclusion into major science citation
index databases. We are happy to report that so far,
the evaluation board of science citation index
databases have approved the indexing, integrating,
and inclusion of the following conference tracks
into relevant indexing databases (indexing databases
include, among others: Scopus, Engineering Village,
EMBASE, and others): BIOCOMP, DMIN, GCA, ICAI, ICOMP,
ICWN, IKE, IPCV, PDPTA, and SAM.
In addition to the
above, Worldcomp has arranged two new book series
(multiple books in each series); one with Elsevier
publishers (Emerging Trends in Computer Science and
Applied Computing) and another with Springer
publishers (Transactions of Computational Science
and Computational Intelligence). After the
conference (the process may take 12 to 18 months), a
significant number of authors of accepted papers of
our congress, will be given the opportunity to
submit the extended version of their papers for
publication consideration in these books. We
anticipate having between 10 and 20 books a year in
each of these book series projects. Each book in
each series will be subject to Elsevier and Springer
science indexing products (which includes: Scopus,
www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex, Engineering
Village,
www.ei.org; EMBASE,
www.info.embase.com; and others).
With respect to these
book series, DMIN is planning to consider all submissions
for publication in an edited book volume to be
published by Springer.
