The long and short papers will be awarded based on reviewers’ evaluations. In particular, the three best long papers of the Conference will be acknowledged by the Scientific Committee with an award during the closing session of the Conference. Fifteen mentions (one for each of the Thematic Tracks) will be acknowledged by the track chairs during the specific track session. In case of incompatibility situations for the assignment of the mention to the short papers, the final decision will be left to one or two members of the Scientific Committee of the Conference chosen for research competence in relation to the thematic track itself.
All papers (short and long) participate in the awards, regardless of whether (or not) they will be published in the proceedings of the Conference.
In addition to awarding with a plaque the Journal’s Best Reviewer, a mention for the Conference’s Outstanding Reviewers will be awarded with a mention.
All the participants to the Conference can present long or short papers, regardless of the role held in the organization of the Conference itself. In the case of an author involved in one of the Conference Committees, SIMA and Sinergie ensure a transparent and fair evaluation by implementing an ad-hoc blind peer review process.
