You will use the same paper/abstract management site to upload all information regarding presentations, authorization forms, photos, biographies, your mandatory paper/extended abstract (poster, plenary, and keynote presenters excluded), and the video recording of your presentation.
Author guidelines and tasks
Produced in partnership with Springer, one of the largest and most respected scientific publishers in the world, COM 2022 proceedings offer you a clear advantage for the dissemination of your research.
- Reach a global audience through the highly accessible SpringerLink online publishing platform.
- Individually assigned DOI numbers for each proceedings article ensure the discoverability of your work.

- Each paper/presentation must have one author registered and paid by the deadline of May 15, 2022, for the paper to be published and the presentation to be scheduled within the technical program.
