- All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA 2023 EasyChair submission page <a href="https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=epia2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-safelink="true" data-linkindex="3">https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=epia2023</a><br>
- Prospective authors should select the thematic track to which their paper is to be submitted.<br>
The papers should be prepared according to the Springer LNAI format, with a maximum of 12 pages. However, you should consider any track-specific details in your submission.<br>
- Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process and will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the respective track Program Committee. It is the responsibility of the authors to remove names and affiliations from the submitted papers,
and to take reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process.<br>
- Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding
author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have
been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.<br>
