Papers may be published in either Springer Studies in Computational Intelligence (SCI) and some will be recommended for submission to Elsevier Cognitive Systems Research (CSR).
Papers must be a minimum of 5 pages in length and those intended for CSR will be reviewed by the BICA*AI PC and then, if invited, resubmitted via the Elsevier portal. Both should be published by the end of the year.
The submission deadline for Springer SCI papers is July 15th. The Elseveir CSR submission deadline is early November.
Templates for Preparation of BICA*AI-24 Papers
These templates must be used for preparation of your initial submissions as well as final camera-ready submissions for the Springer volume. Download templates by clicking on the links below.
We prefer submissions prepared based on the MS Word templates (file “splnproc1703.zip”).
You can prepare your paper either in MS Word (the previous link) or in Latex (this link, the file “ProcSci_TeX.zip”). Some authors suggest changing line 10 in the file ProcSci_Tex/templates/author.tex from “\documentclass{svproc}” to “\documentclass{styles/svproc}”.
The file “Springer_Guidelines_for_Authors_of_Proceedings.pdf” gives you a general idea of how a correctly formatted paper should look like. You should also explore the Springer Nature’s proceedings website.
Filled and signed Publishing Agreement form (the file “ProceedingsPaper_LTP_ST_SN_Switzerland.docx”) does not constitute a real copyright agreement and will be required at the stage of the camera-ready submission — only to mitigate risks of Springer having problems with Authors (we experienced these problems in previous years).
The Permission Request Form (file “Permission Request Form (Springer).doc”) is useful when you need to include into your paper a copyright material, such as a picture published elsewhere (including your own papers). In these cases you are required to obtain a permission form the other Publisher.
