PAPER SUBMISSION
The expected length of papers should be 12-15 pages including tables and figures. All accepted papers will be published in Communications in Computer and Information Science book series published by Springer-Verlag. Please adhere to the formatting standard manuscript of Springer-Verlag LNCS. The cover page must contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address.
As in previous years extended versions of selected manuscripts will be published in Multimedia Tools and Applications journal (published by Springer-Verlag, Impact Factor 1.331).
To register or submit a paper, please visit http://mcss2017.kt.agh.edu.pl. Consistent with standard practice, each submitted paper will receive rigorous peer reviewing. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance and clarity of presentation. The selection will be based on full papers. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. All papers accepted to the conference are expected to be presented.
MCSS Conference will be submitted for indexing in Conference Proceedings Citation Index on the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge.
SPECIAL SESSIONS
A special session on development and security of SCADA systems and smart grids will be organized along with the main conference. A parallel poster and demonstration session entitled “Demonstrations on MCSS” will be organized along with the main conference. This event encourages researchers to present and discuss the “work-in-progress” or “experience-in-practice” of their current studies/implementations and research prototypes which conform to the topics of MCSS’17.
CONFERENCE FEE
The conference fee is €350. This includes proceedings, coffee breaks, lunches, sightseeing and a conference dinner. Student registration (undergraduate): 50% reduction of the regular fee (€175). IEEE member registration: 10% reduction of the regular fee (€315).
PLACE OF CONFERENCE
The conference will take place in Krakow, one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland, the former capital of Poland and a popular tourist destination. Krakow's historic center was included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1978. Points of interest outside the city include the Wieliczka salt mine, the Tatra Mountains, the historic city of Czestochowa and Ojcowski National Park.
