Submission Policy
The SAM 2021 proceedings will be published by IEEE.
Types of submission
SAM 2021 welcomes academics and industrial submissions in the following categories:
- Full papers describing original, unpublished results (max 10 pages, including figures, appendices and references in IEEE format).
- Short papers, describing work in progress (max 6 pages, including figures, appendices and references in IEEE format).
Long papers should describe significant, original, and unpublished results related to but not limited to any of the SAM-related topics. Short papers are insightful contributions on SAM relevant topics such as preliminary and initial research results for which a complete evaluation has not yet been performed.
We encourage also the submission of (long or short) papers that describe negative results and replication studies. This type of papers advance our knowledge by allowing us to continuously (re)evaluate our understanding of the current approaches.
Each paper submitted to the technical track will be evaluated by at least three reviewers, based on significance, originality, substance, correctness, and clarity.
Best Paper Awards will be given to authors of long and short papers, which will be selected by the program committee and SAM Co-chairs among the accepted and presented papers.
