Research in progress papers
The Bled Forum invites submissions as short papers with possibly associated posters on topics related to the conference’s main theme and special interest themes. Forum papers can present research in progress and should be original and innovative, and not longer than 6 pages (reference list excluded). All submissions will be evaluated in a similar manner as full papers. Through short presentations possibly enhanced with posters delegates will be able to show their accepted (preliminary) research and receive feedback in an interactive way. Posters will be displayed during the conference. Accepted forum papers will appear in a special section of the conference proceedings.
Review Process
All papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers, to ensure this, authors may be contacted with a request to review papers. Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the Research Track Chair accepts the paper; demands minor or major changes, or rejects the paper.
