Author Guidelines

EEPES 2024 will be in HYBRID mode (face to face or/and virtual). If the health conditions and travelling restrictions do not allow to be held in-person, the conference will be moved to a fully virtual format.

Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains, or environments to which it is applicable, addressing one or several of the conference areas or topics. Only original papers will be submitted.

Authors have to submit a paper in English, checked for correct grammar and spelling.

The review process is single-blind, i.e. the reviewers are anonymous (reviewers know the authors’ names and backgrounds, but authors don’t know those of the reviewers).
