Important Dates
Paper submission due: April 20, 2025
Notifications sent to authors: May 14, 2025
Camera-ready papers due: May 30, 2025
Paper Preparation
Manuscripts must be written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS templates. The acceptable length is a minimum of 14 pages and a maximum of 16 pages. Authors are required to consult Springer's "Instructions for Authors of Proceedings" and utilize either the LaTeX or Word templates provided on the authors' page: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines for manuscript preparation.
The use of artificial intelligence AI-generated text within a manuscript must be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any submitted paper. Furthermore, all manuscript sections incorporating AI-generated text must include a citation specifying the AI system employed for text generation.
Submissions must be original and not currently under review elsewhere.
Paper Submission System
X-Meeting 2025 uses Microsoft CMT for paper submissions. The submission system can be accessed via the following link:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/XM2025
All author names and affiliations must be entered into the submission system. No additions will be permitted after the review process commences.
Review Process
All submissions will be screened for plagiarism. The Program Committee reserves the right to reject any submission containing suspected instances of plagiarism without further review.
Submissions will undergo a double-blind peer-review process. Following review, papers may be accepted, rejected, or conditionally accepted pending revisions (revise and resubmit). Further details are provided below.
X-Meeting 2025 employs a double-blind review process; reviewers will not be informed of the authors' identities, and vice versa. Authors are, therefore, required to ensure anonymity in their submitted PDF File. Specifically:
- Author names should not be included within the submitted PDF document.
- Prior work should be referenced in the third person whenever possible.
- While reviewers may potentially deduce author identities through external resources, such as publicly available technical reports, the presence of such information online does not violate the double-blind submission policy.
- Please note that anonymization is mandatory. Submissions that explicitly or implicitly reveal author identities may be rejected.
Authors will not be allowed to appeal if their papers are rejected.
Camera-Ready Publication
All accepted papers are contingent upon registration by at least one author at X-Meeting 2025 (see the Registration section for details).
X-Meeting 2025 policy prohibits the addition of new authors at the camera-ready stage. Compliance with this policy is required for publication.
One X-Meeting 2025 registration covers the publication of up to two full papers submitted under this call.
