Submission system

All submissions are handled through EasyChair at easychair.org/conferences/?conf=confenis2027. Authors must use the Springer LNBIP LaTeX template (preferred) or the LNBIP Word template. PDFs only; no other formats accepted.

Review process

CONFENIS 2027 uses a fully double-blind review process. Authors must not identify themselves in the manuscript, in the metadata, or in self-references (use "Author (2024) showed..." rather than "We (Author 2024) showed..."). Each paper receives three independent reviews, followed by a meta-review by the relevant area chair. Programme co-chairs make the final accept/reject decision.

Author obligations

  • Each accepted paper requires at least one author registration at the full rate.
  • At least one author must present the paper in person in Vienna; hybrid presentation is not offered.
  • Authors transfer copyright to Springer under the standard LNBIP consent-to-publish; open-access option available.
