Papers Submission

Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers with unpublished material and not currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. 

We invite two types of submissions: Full Technical Papers, and Short Technical Papers

Full Papers should not exceed 12 LNCS formatted pages, including figures, tables, and references. Short papers should be up to 6 pages. 

At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the conference and present the paper. 

Regular papers accepted and presented at UNet 2018 will be published as part of one of Springer book series. They will also be submitted to appear in SpringerLink, Scopus, ISI, DBLP and other leading indexing services. 

All submitted papers must conform to the LNCS Formatting Guidelines. Authors are invited to use either the LNCS's Latex template or MS Word Template available via this Link. 

If you have any questions about paper submissions or the program, please contact us at unet18-chairs@edas.info. 

All submissions must be made electronically via EDAS.  

Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference or journal at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the Springer publisher may take action against any author who engages in either practice. Accordingly, all submissions will be screened for plagiarism.

Plagiarism policy and multiple submissions

Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference or journal at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the Springer publisher may take action against any author who engages in either practice.
