EAI is an open community dedicated to creating an environment where every member receives the same opportunities, benefits and opportunities to develop and grow their research mission and career. As the largest free professional research society in the world, EAI offers a complete range of conference proceedings publication opportunities. Based on the qualification of the conference and the conference scope, EAI provides the possibility to publish the proceedings for every sponsored conference. Consistent with its mission to support developing communities, all EAI-sponsored conferences appear in EUDL, the European Union Digital Library (EUDL). EUDL is Open Access and free for EAI members, reaching a community of 250,000 subscribers and providing the visibility that allows the conference organizers to develop the conference into a fully fledged indexed proceedings publication in subsequent years.

Papers should be submitted through the EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

• Full/ Regular papers should be 12-20 pages in length. (Excluding appendices, references, appreciation, etc.)

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.
