Service · Paper submission

Submission overview

Paper submission is the second core service: authors upload abstracts or full papers before a deadline, organizers collect them into a reviewable, decidable, schedulable set.

Submission modes

A conference runs in one submission mode: abstract only, full paper, or no submission at all (registration-only events). Full-paper conferences may additionally allow abstract-only submissions. The mode determines which deadlines exist: an abstract deadline, a paper submission deadline, and a shared revision deadline for papers whose review result allows a revised version.

What organizers define

• Deadlines — as above; submission closes automatically.
• Research areas — a list (with optional group headers) that classifies papers and, on the reviewer side, expertise. Areas power the automatic reviewer assignment described on the flow page.
• Submitting group — open submission, or restricted to a registration type or member type.
• The submission form — the fields an author fills in, defined in the form system.

Papers, versions, and statuses

Each paper gets an ID like ICCM2026-001. A revised version keeps the base ID with a revision suffix — ICCM2026-001R1, R2, and so on — so all versions of one paper stay grouped. A paper's status runs from Not submitted through Submitted to a review result such as Accepted or Not accepted; the conference's result vocabulary is configurable, and results marked as revision-allowed reopen submission for that paper alone.
