How do we evaluate your papers?
To help the authors to write a high-quality
paper related to our conference main themes,
here are the suggestions:
1. Topic: It is very important to
check if your research work is within to the
conference focus: Read our call for paper
themes.
You should identify at least one keyword that
matches your work. Your paper should concentrate
on this topic.
The conference emphasized the “cooperative”
“integration” aspect of the design,
visualization, engineering and other
applications. It also includes the theory and
basic methods for these applications.
You should make sure your paper concentrates on
these aspects or be related to these aspects.
Multiple user, multiple discipline, multiple
location, multiple automaton, multiple unit,
multiple sensors, network applications or
facilitating such applications are within our
conference interest. Integration of life cycles
in design, engineering …are also within our
interest. Please see more in our call for papers
themes for more information.
2. Title: Setup a title that can
summarize your work in one short sentence. It is
the most important element for the readers to
understand your paper. All the contents in the
paper should serve the title. Try not to use
unnecessary words such as “research on …”, “a
new method of…”.
3. Structure: A paper should
include an abstract, keywords and a set of
sections and a list of references.
The abstract should briefly describe your work
presented in the paper and not an introduction
of the topic. It should be short.
A long paper should have an introduction
of the problem to solve, the current situation,
your approach, the reason to take such approach,
your results and evaluation. It should dedicate
enough space for the concrete work done.
Evaluation or at least some sample use cases are
necessary.
A short paper can present the
intermediate result of a project. No long
introduction is necessary. The paper should
concentrate in reporting the major result of the
work.
4. Formats: The paper should follow the LNCS
format restrictively including the page
layout, fonts types and sizes...This conference
is science and technology oriented. The paper
should be supported by schemes, figures and
pictures etc. Due to the short space, unless
being exceptional, a survey is not generally
suitable for this conference. You can see more
in our submission page.
Paper evaluation criteria
1. Paper topic relevant to the
conference
The conference is focused on cooperative aspect
of the design, visualization and engineering
plus other applications. For cooperative
engineering, we emphasize life cycle management,
integration etc. The paper topic should be
related to the topic listed in the call for
paper themes of the conference.
2. Technical correctness and novelty
The paper should be technically correct. The
technical approach should be novel compared with
exiting approaches. The paper will not be
considered if it has similar results in existing
publications including the authors own
publications.
3. English usage
The paper should reach the international
technical English writing level. There should
not be grammar mistakes and improper uses of
abbreviations, terms and expressions.
4. Paper format, figure, table, reference
quality
The paper should follow the LNCS format. The
titles, fonts, figures, tables and references
should strictly follow the LNCS format:

5. Presentation quality in
general
The paper should have good quality in the
structure setup, contents distribution etc.
