Instructions

Submitted papers must be original contributions and cannot be under review for any other forum. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will form a volume in the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

All submitted papers must be in English and conform to the formatting instructions for the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) including references and figures.

The format style files are available at LNCS Authors Instructions Page.

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

Submitted files must be in PDF, where the following page limits apply: 12 pages for research full papers, or 4 pages for demonstration proposals. Please note that these limits encompass all figures and tables but do not include reference pages. In other words, references are exempt from the page count.

Each paper will be judged on its originality, significance, technical quality, relevance to ADC, and presentation.

ADC follows single blind review which means that authors’ information must be included in the submission.
