TOGETHER - Urban informatics for future cities

Call for submissions

Choice 1: Book Chapter

Approximately 25 contributions well-fitting to the central conference theme of TOGETHER - Urban Informatics for Future Cities will be selected for inclusion in a book, published by Springer Publishers.

These 25 chapters will be selected, based on the outcomes of a double blind review process by the Scientific Committee.

Chapters should be between 4000 and 6000 words in length, including notes, figures, tables, references, et cetera. All chapters should have a rough structure of abstract (max 150 words), introduction, literature review, methodology section, empirical analysis, conclusions, discussions and references.

The abstracts of the selected book chapters will be included in the digitally published proceedings too. Inclusion of the contribution as a chapter in the book implies the transfer of its copyright to Springer Publishers. Moreover, it implies its presentation at the conference.

Preference will be given to contributions in which the first and corresponding author is a PhD student (of course, senior staff is welcome to be part of the list of authors too).

Choice 2: Oral presentations

The selection of presentations in the conference will be made based on extended abstracts. The Local Committee of CUPUM2021 Conference will make decisions on the oral presentations after review process.

Extended abstracts should be between 1000 and 1500 words in length including notes, figures, tables, references et cetera. The structure of the abstracts should be as follows: an introduction, methodology section, results, conclusions and discussion and references.

The oral presentation and registration of at least one of the authors is required in order to have an abstract published in the digital proceedings during the conference. After being selected for oral presentation the author may disallow the publishing and only give the oral presentation.
