2 Fundamentals

• CEUR-WS focuses on:
  • workshops (rather not conferences);
  • computer science (i.e. authors should mostly come from a computer science background).
• CEUR-WS.org publishes computer science proceedings.

2.1 Computer science

• A computer science workshop proceedings is characterized as follows:
  • The organizers and program committee members come overwhelmingly from computer-science departments and have a degree in computer science (or a related discipline such as information systems, business informatics).
  • The vast majority of papers included in the proceedings have at least one author coming from a computer science department and/or having a computer-science degree (or a related discipline such as information systems, business informatics).
  • The papers in the proceedings mainly apply research methods from computer science (or a related discipline such as information systems, business informatics).
  • It is not sufficient to use computer programs for conducting the research while applying research methods from another discipline such as material science.

2.2 English

• The majority (50% or more) of the papers in a volume must be in English.
  • English is the de facto standard when you want to target an international audience.
  • The submitted papers have to be written in the Latin alphabet. Spell author names in Latin characters (accents are allowed).
  • Avoid non-Latin characters in the paper titles (in some cases special characters, e.g. for mathematical concepts, are allowed).
• If you submit papers written in a language different to English, we must be able to verify the scientific character of the papers.
  • Therefore, for papers written in a language different than English, we require that you provide an English translation of the paper titles in the index file and additional English abstracts in the papers.
  • This is not just to be able to verify the scientific character of a paper, but also to make the content of these papers accessible to the international scientific community.
  • An English abstract and title allows any scientist to decide whether the contribution of a paper is relevant to his or her research.

3 Conference Compliance Checklist

• Is this WS located to the well-known conference?
• What about the PC? Are there different names and people with a good dblp footprint?
• Editors and author footprint also high?

4 Why a workshop might be rejected

• Virtually all papers are by PhD students of a single university.
• All PC members are from a single university.
• The PhD symposium has many submissions, all were accepted.
• The symposium was not affiliated to an international conference.
