Abstract Guidelines

• Abstracts should be short, not extended.

• Abstracts will be used for preliminary reviewer assignment.

Submission Details

• Papers must be submitted in PDF format (readable by Adobe AcrobatReader 4.0 and higher) and formatted for 8.5" x 11" paper.

• Papers should be formatted in one of two manners:
  • Manuscript: Single column, ten-point font, double spacing, up to 20 pages, including figures, tables, references, etc.
  • Final: Double column, ten-point font, single spacing, up to 12 pages, including figures, tables, references, etc.

  Papers that grossly exceed this limit will be rejected by the Program Chair without further review.

Conflicts of Interest

Don't forget to list conflict of interests with all potential ISCA reviewers and especially with respect to the Program Chair and Program Committee members. In particular, for all co-authors, please declare a conflict on interest with:

• Your Ph.D. advisor and Ph.D. students forever.
• Family relations by blood or marriage forever
  (if they might be potential ISCA reviewers).
• People with whom you collaborated with in the last FIVE years. Collaborators include co-authors on an accepted/rejected/pending research paper, co-PIs on an accepted/rejected/pending grant, funders of you research, and researcher who you fund. You many exclude "service" collaborations like writing CSTB report or serving on a program committee together.
• People who shared your primary institution in the last FIVE years.
• Others with whom you believe a conflict of interest exists.
