28 октября–31 октября 2021
Форма участия: Очно-заочная
Срок подачи заявок: 29.06.2021
Topics of relevance to the conference; they typically involve a combination of presentations (which can take a variety of formats, such as traditional full-papers, shorter-form position statements and responses, round-table discussions, etc.) and audience dialogue (e.g. a Q&A session); organizers are responsible for confirming at least three unique presenters by the overall conference paper submission deadline (29 June 2021), and all must register for the conference; special session presenters are invited to submit papers for peer-review and publication as part of the ISTAS21 Proceedings.
Workshops are interactive sessions that focus on a narrowly defined topic; they typically involve a combination of presentations, dialogue between facilitators and participants, and activities that allow participants to try out or implement new ideas.
Tutorials are didactic sessions that deliver a focused lesson on a topic relevant to the conference theme; an facilitator/teacher typically presents material to an audience of students who are interested in the topic but not yet subject-matter experts.
Full-length papers:
These contributions are between 6-8 pages and will receive full peer-review for consideration as part of the ISTAS21 Proceedings (published on IEEEXplore). Full-length papers are expected to present original, cutting-edge research, they should contain detailed and explicit methodology and comprehensive literature review, and they must clearly explain the work’s novelty and contribution to its respective field. Full-length papers must be submitted as PDFs, following the US or A4 MS Word IEEE conference template.
Short Papers:
These contributions are between 2-4 pages, excluding references, and authors can elect to receive either full peer-review (for consideration as part of the ISTAS21 Proceedings, published on IEEEXplore) or desk review (in which case, only the Abstract will appear in the ISTAS21 Proceedings). Short papers may present preliminary findings from work in progress, industry/practitioner/artist perspectives on issues relevant to the conference theme, or student research projects. They should present and discuss a clear and focused central idea, incorporate discussion of relevant research/contexts, and provide references as necessary. Short papers must be submitted as PDFs, following the US or A4 MS Word IEEE conference template.
Abstracts:
These contributions should be no longer than one page and they will receive desk review. Accepted abstracts will be included in ISTAS21 proceedings, and authors will be invited to present as part of the conference program. Abstracts should provide a 200-300-word summary outlining the proposed presentation’s topic, purpose, argument, and alignment with the conference theme/subtheme(s). Please refer to past research and provide references. Abstracts must be submitted as PDFs, following the US or A4 MS Word IEEE conference template.
Style & Formatting Instructions
All submissions must be uploaded to the ISTAS21 EasyChair portal (link will be available in early March) in PDF format based on the US or A4 MS Word IEEE conference template.
If this is your first time publishing with IEEE, you might appreciate visiting the IEEE Author Center. Additional author/presenter tips are available here.
Paper Evaluation and Publication
All ISTAS21 submissions will be evaluated according to:Relevance (consider Social Implications, address Conference Themes)
Validity (well argued, evidence-based, grounded in theory)
Significance/Originality
Methodological Basis and Rigor
Balance, Structure, and Clarity
The IEEE ISTAS21 proceedings will be published through the IEEEXplore database. Papers will be included in the proceedings only if at least one author registers for ISTAS21 and pays the conference registration fee.
Select papers may be invited for expansion/revision and further peer review for inclusion in a special issue of the IEEE Technology and Society Magazine for publication in 2022. The invited papers should be 70% different in terms of the content and findings from the papers that have been submitted to the conference.
