The submitted papers to ARIAL workshop will undergo an administrative review, upon acceptance these papers will have to be presented in-person at the IJCAI conference to be considered for the MDPI Algorithms special issue. The presented papers will then be directed for submission to the MDPI’s special issue. Since the ARIAL workshop papers are not archived, the authors can submit their accepted workshop paper to the special issue as is or update it based on reviewer’s feedback or new results. The paper submitted to MDPI should be minimum 4000 words. MDPI will conduct external review of submitted papers for their special issue. The accepted papers at the MDPI’s special issue will be adequately archived and given a DOI number.
As per the arrangement, MDPI will waive off APC of two-top rated papers and provide 50% discount on APC for rest of the papers.
