Reviews: All submissions will be subject to peer review by the ECAI 2023 Programme Committee. Scientific papers will be evaluated based on relevance, significance of contribution, impact, technical quality, scholarship and quality of presentation. During the author response phase, the authors of submitted papers will be offered the opportunity to respond to the reviews for their papers before the final acceptance decision is made.
Attendance: At least one author of each accepted paper is required to participate in the conference and present the work.
Ethics Policy: Research reported in ECAI-23 should avoid harm, be honest and trustworthy, fair and non-discriminatory, and respect privacy and intellectual property. The ACM (https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics), the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (https://allea.org/code-of-conduct/) and AAAI (https://www.aaai.org/Conferences/code-of-ethics-and-conduct.php) codes of ethics provide guidelines that we wish to promote.
When relevant, authors can include as an appendix an ethics statement that addresses both ethical issues regarding the research being reported, and the broader ethical impact of the work.
Reviewers will be asked to flag violations of ethical and/or fairness considerations. Such flagged submissions will be reviewed by the Ethics Chair. Authors may be required to revise their submission to include discussion of possible ethical concerns and their mitigation.
Conflict of interest policy: All individuals involved in the ECAI-23 review process must adhere to the ECAI ethical guidelines and conflict of interest policy. Authors and reviewers acknowledge that we may take action upon individuals in breach with the conflict of interest policy.
Confidentiality policy: All submissions will be treated in strict confidence until the publication date.
Formatting and submission: Papers should be formatted according to the ECAI-23 formatting style, available soon. Scientific papers cannot exceed (7+1) pages. Overlength submissions will be rejected without review.
Proceedings: The proceedings of the conference will be published by IOS Press and made freely available at the IOS website.
Sister Conferences: ECAI-23 is proud to host two sister conferences. The Conference on Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems (PAIS-23) and STAIRS the European Starting AI Researchers’ Symposium (STAIRS-23). A separate call for papers will be issued for both sister conferences.
