RESEARCH PAPERS – JANUARY 14, 2013 CLOSED
Long research papers (12 11 pages maximum)
Long research papers should present original reports of substantive new research. They should place the work within the field, and clearly indicate its innovative aspects and its significance. Number of pages: 11 pages maximum of content plus unlimited extra pages for references.
Short research papers (6 pages)
Short research papers should present original and unpublished highly promising research, whose merit will be assessed in terms of originality and importance rather than maturity and technical validation. Number of pages: 6 pages maximum of content plus unlimited extra pages for references.
Note: Both categories will be strictly kept apart in the review process. Only in extremely unusual circumstances can long papers be relegated to the short paper category.
INDUSTRY PAPERS – JANUARY 14, 2013 CLOSED
We solicit submissions covering innovative commercial implementations or applications of UMAP technologies, and experience in applying recent research advances to practical situations. Submissions may be either long papers (12 11 pages maximum) whose technical density should be comparable to that of research track submissions, or short papers (6 pages). Both limits exclude unlimited extra pages for references. Industry Track submissions must describe work performed in industry or concern industrial applications, and will typically include at least one industry author.
