Submission Guidelines

Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited.

All paper submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=npc2025

All papers should be formatted using the Springer-LNCS template, and must not exceed 12 pages. The reference is within the 12-page limitation. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-LNCS, which is indexed by EI and Scopus.

All submissions will be reviewed using a single-blind review process. The identity of reviewers will not be revealed to authors, but authors can keep their names on the submitted papers, on figures, bibliography, etc.
