Program Committee has the right to reject without consideration the papers, which are not conforming to requirements described in this section.

The following types of the scientific work are acceptable at the conference:

  • a full paper;
  • a short paper;
  • a poster.

    The program committee can accept a paper with the change of its status (e.g. the work claimed as a full paper may be accepted as a short paper or a poster). In this case, the author is to prepare the final version of the paper according to its new status.

    Paper should be submitted electronically via EasyChair system as a single *.pdf, *.doc or *.docx file.

    Requirements for the content of the paper

    Full paper (up to 12 A4 pages) shows the results of the completed scientific research and usually has the following structure.

  • Introduction – issues, goal and objectives of the research, overview of the related work and brief description of the paper's structure.

  • Theory part – formal statement of the problem, analytical study of the mathematical models, methods and algorithms proposed by the author(s).

  • Implementation part – description of the program implementation of the proposed models, methods and algorithms.

  • Experimental results – results of the computing experiments confirming the adequacy and effectiveness of the proposed models, methods and algorithms, comparison of the approach with the existing ones.

  • Conclusion – summary of the obtained results, final conclusions and directions for further research.

    Short paper (up to 6 A4 pages) describes preliminary results of uncompleted scientific research. The structure of the short paper basically follows the structure of the full one.

    Poster (one A4 page long) contains information about plans and initial results of recently started scientific research.

    Requirements for the formatting of the paper

    Page settings: page size is 297x210 mm (A4 format). All margins should be of the same size – 25 mm. Headers, footers and page numbering are prohibited.

    First level heading is typed in bold 14 pt Times New Roman font. It is numbered with Arabic numerals followed by the point, e.g. "1.".

    Second level heading has bold 12 pt Times New Roman font. It is numbered with Arabic numerals, e.g. "2.1". There is no final point.

    Third level heading appears in italic 12 pt Times New Roman font. It is numbered with Arabic numerals, e.g. "3.1.2". There is no final point.

    Source code is formatted using Courier New font of 10 pt size.

    Statements, lemmas and theorems are typed as separate paragraphs and are numbered in the order they appear in the text, starting with the number one.

    Figures and tables. Every figure and table should have a caption. Figure caption is of 10 pt font with 6 points before and after spacing and begins with the bold keyword "Fig. <Figure number>." that places under the image. Table caption is typed in 10 pt font with 6 points before and after spacing and begins with the bold keyword "Table <table number>. " that places above the table.

    Cross-references and footnotes. Footnotes are typed in 10 pt font with justified alignment and Arabic numerals numbering and are placed at the bottom of the page. Links to grants are formatted as footnotes to the title of the paper and are marked by *.
