GENERAL GUIDELINES

Please comply with the following guidelines. In certain cases, non-compliance may lead to rejection or
exclusion from publication.

• • • The full papers must discuss only new and previously unpublished results.
    • The full papers must be formatted according to the template given and it must restrict to 2-3 pages, including figures and references.
    • Use only 5-6 references and 2-3 tables/figures in the paper.
    • The full papers must address at least one category specified in the Call for Papers.
    • Each accepted submission is required to have at least one registration from one of the authors.
    • WIESymp conducts a double-blind peer-review process and a plagiarism check. In submitting your manuscript for the review process, you must leave the author and affiliation section in the manuscript blank. Also, you must remove any information in the manuscript that refers to the author identity or affiliation (such as acknowledgements). Submissions not respecting the blind review requirements or not passing the plagiarism check will be rejected.
    • WIESymp will also not accept any double-submission that is either under review by or has been accepted for another conference, or journal. 

FULL PAPER

• • • A full paper (2-3 pages) is a short communication where your work is presented in a concise way.
    • The aim of a full paper is to share ideas and results in a way that is easily accessible to the reader, e.g. your peers and the conference staff.
    • The full paper must include similar aspects and information expected in a regular research paper, but more focused on practical design and design methods, without being too detailed.
    • A common disposition is to divide it into the following sections (not all are obligatory):
      • • Introduction: The introduction usually contains a background and/or a motivation for your work including a comparison to related work.
        • Approach: A description of your work including the relevant methods used to solve the problem.
        • Experiments: Description of the experiments or measurements made if applicable.
        • Results: Presentation of the result obtained. If possible, use descriptive figures or tables rather than explain in text. Do not discuss or interpret the results at this stage.
        • Discussion: Discuss the results. What conclusions can you draw? Put your results in perspective by comparing to other work or generally accepted knowledge in the field.
        • Criticise your own method and results, for example, with respect to any simplifications made.
    • The full paper will be assessed with respect to the relevance of the work in the field, the relevance of the introduction, results and discussion, the ability to clearly pass on the message, and the overall impression.
    • Do not overlook the importance of the introduction, figures, examples, and conclusions (and measurements if applicable) in a full paper.
    • Some things that can be omitted from a full paper: future work, details of proofs or implementation that should seem plausible to reviewers, ramifications not relevant to the key ideas of the paper.
    • Please note that you are free to arrange the material as you wish, and you can focus on a particular point that interests you, as long as all aspects above are covered.
    • The full paper must be limited to 5-6 references and 2-3 tables/figures.
