Submission
We invite submission of original and unpublished work. Parallel submission to journals or other conferences or workshops with published proceedings is not permitted. The conference includes a Regular Track and an Innovative Applications Track. As to the latter, we encourage the submission of original papers about innovative applications, e.g., in law, medicine, e-democracy, risk assessment, intelligent user interfaces, recommender systems, argument mining etc. Innovative applications papers will be assessed in an equally rigorous reviewing procedure as regular track papers. The reviewing process is single blind. The length of each submission for both Regular and Innovative Applications papers must not exceed 12 pages.
Paper submission, in PDF format, will be managed through EasyChair online at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=comma2024 and will be open between 23 February 2024 and 18 April 2024 (all dates are 23:59 UTC-12, ‘anywhere on Earth’).
The proceedings of the conference will be published by IOS Press as an open-access book. Authors should prepare their submission following the instructions given by IOS Press (https://www.iospress.com/book-article-instructions).
We also invite submissions of demonstration of systems and tools. Authors of accepted submissions will be invited to present their demonstrations during a special demonstration session. All those intending to demonstrate a system should notify the demonstrations coordinator Tjitze Rienstra (t.rienstra@maastrichtuniversity.nl) by e-mail no later than 04 April 2024, specifying whether the demo is connected to a paper in the main conference track. Where a demonstration is not connected to a paper in the regular or innovative applications tracks, a two-page extended abstract about the system must be submitted for review by the general paper submission deadline of 18 April 2024. For those demonstrations that are connected to a paper in one of the main conference tracks, no separate abstract about the demonstration should be submitted. The submission site, format and dates for extended abstracts are the same as for regular papers. Accepted extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings.
