Call for papers
Authors are invited to submit original papers not previously published nor submitted in parallel for publication to any other conference, workshop or journal. All submitted papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references, for double blind reviews.
Submissions are to be made to the submission web site on the EasyChair platform. Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions should follow the LNCS style. Authors should consult Springer’s Instructions for Authors of Proceedings and use either the LaTeX or the Word templates provided on the authors’ page for the preparation of their papers. Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf. Springer
encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. Submitted papers may risk being rejected directly without consideration of their merits if they do not follow all the above submission instructions.
The page limits for the camera-ready papers are 20 pages, including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Selected accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the International Journal of Information Security
Important Dates
This year’s edition of the conference will have two review cycles. All submissions must be received by 11:59p.m. anywhere-on-earth time on the day of the corresponding deadline.
| First cycle | Second cycle | |
| Full paper submission: | 16 February 2024 | 03 May 2024 |
| Notification to authors: | 08 April 2024 | 24 June 2024 |
| Camera ready due: | 09 August 2024 | 09 August 2024 |
Accepted papers will be included in the conference’s proceedings. The Proceedings will be published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, as post-proceedings. Pre-proceedings will be made available shortly before and during the event. Please note that at least one author of each accepted paper must register to the conference and give a presentation at the conference. Failure to register or absence from the presentation will eventually make your paper NOT being included in the conference proceedings.
Awards
The TPC and the Steering Committee will select one paper to receive a Best Paper Award, and another paper whose first co-author is a student to receive a Best Student Paper Award. Recipients of both awards will receive a certificate from the Conference. Springer will sponsor the best paper and best student paper awards with cash prize.

Submissions and reviews will be organized on the EasyChair platform and the link for submission is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icics2024.
