Call for WCAL Papers
WCAL solicits submission of high quality technical papers reporting original work not previously published, nor currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.
Call for Workshop (WCAL) Papers: Workshop (WCAL) papers are limited to 5 to 9 single-column CEUR-WS format pages. Workshop Program Committee Chairs: Lucie Klus, Tampere University, Finland; Pavel Pascacio, Gustave Eiffel University, France
Manuscripts are submitted according to the instructions for authors. Papers undergo a single-blind review process by at least two reviewers. Accepted WCAL papers will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org, which is currently indexed by Scopus, Ei Compendex and DBLP.
Please note that the TPC strictly adheres to strict rules for the peer review process. Reviewers treat the contents of the submitted papers as confidential information not to be disclosed to others before publication. We expect our reviewers to not make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge that the access provides.
The conference emphasizes open science practices, which will be positively received during the review process.
