Types of Submission
Your paper can be submitted in the following forms:
A lecture presentation:
If your paper is accepted, you will have the opportunity to speak for 20 minutes in front of the congress audience followed by an additional 10 minutes to discuss your presentation with the participants.
A poster presentation (possible only as a research institute):
Your poster will be displayed in the exhibition area. The congress participants will have the opportunity to discuss your poster with you during the breaks.
Submission of abstracts
The abstract (1 DIN A4 page) must include:
- The title of your paper
- The name and contact details of the speaker and any co-authors
- A table of contents specifying the main contents of the paper
- Classification under one of the subject areas
- A statement on the innovative value of the work
- An indication of any prior publications on the subject
The Program Advisory Boards for the congress will decide on the acceptance of the papers based on the abstracts. You should therefore highlight the essential technical content and its level of innovation. The authors of the papers or poster presentations that have been accepted commit to submit a 1-page summary and a manuscript comprising 12-15 pages for the congress documentation by the closing date mentioned below and to present the paper in person. If a speaker is unable to attend, a substitute must be named. The congress documentation will be made available in the download area of our websites and in the digital event platform from the beginning of the event. After the congress, your paper will be published as part of the congress proceedings at Springer Vieweg and on the online platforms Springer Link and Springer Professional.
