Research papers reporting on new developments in technological sciences. Industry and development papers reporting on actual developments of technology, products, systems and solutions. Tutorial and survey papers. Work-in-progress papers. In addition, SA’2021 solicits special session proposals to stimulate in-depth discussions in special areas relevant to the conference theme. Please consult the conference web page for more details.
The SA’2021 conference is seeking the following types of submissions:
The Work-in-Progress papers describe research that has not yet produced the results required for a regular paper, but due to its novelty and potential impact deserves to be shared with the community at an early stage. Accepted WIP papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE eXplore program for inclusion in the Digital Library.
Up to 4 double-column pages. Additional 2 pages will be allowed at a fee for the final manuscripts of the accepted papers.
Authors will be asked to give a short presentation in an oral session and to prepare an A0 size poster for the discussion forum that will be held after the oral session. Posters will be on display for the wholeday of the paper presentation.
The Industry Practice papers are intended to report on results arising from industry activities with an impact on research, technology development and technology deployment. Actual case studies demonstrating use of new solutions, approaches, and technologies – underpinned by theoretical considerations – are welcome.
Up to 8 double-column pages, but no less then 4 pages. Additional 2 pages will be allowed at a fee for the final manuscripts of the accepted papers. The Industry Practice papers will be presented in 20 minutes time slots. Accepted Industry Practice papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE eXplore program for inclusion in the Digital Library.
The Disruptive Ideas Papers category is intended to provide an opportunity to present emerging forward-looking and radical innovative ideas applicable to diverse areas of engineering and computer sciences with a prospect for establishing new research directions or stimulating existing ones, leading to major scientific advances and/or leading to new types of systems and disruptive technologies.
Radical forward-looking ideas embedded in the visions of the societal automation ecosystem of the future are strongly encouraged.
The ideas are encouraged to be presented, as far as possible, using some kind of formal notation – preferably already cast in semi-formal (or formal) specification models. Models should be at a minimum validated conceptually, or if the development stage permits, by using mathematical formalism for gross functional or/and quantitative properties at an appropriate abstraction level.
Authors of selected Disruptive Ideas papers will be invited to contribute that material, after further development, to an edited book published after the conference.
Up to 8 double-column pages, but no less then 4 pages. The papers will be presented in 30 minutes time slots.

Best paper awards for the regular and work-in-progress papers will be presented at the conference banquet dinner.
Each accepted paper must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. The final manuscript must be accompanied by a registration form and a registration fee payment proof. All conference attendees, including authors and session chairpersons, must pay the conference registration fee, and their travel expenses.
The SA’2021 Organizing Committee reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference at IEEEXplore if the paper is not presented at the conference.
