Publication and submission
DDECS 2024 seeks original, unpublished contributions of the following types:
- Regular Papers (6 pages) presenting novel and complete research work
- Student Papers (4 pages) from students eager to discuss their on-going research
- Student Demos (2 page proposal) from students interested in presenting practicalresults, targeting one of the conference topics, and competing for an award
- Embedded Tutorials (1-2 page proposal)
The DDECS review process is single-blind, i.e. the author information is not hidden.Accepted Regular and Student papers (not demos) will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.
Extended versions of selected DDECS papers will be published in the Journal of Circuits, Systems and Computers (JCSC).
