Call for Research Papers

Paper Submission Guidelines

Submission Portal
Authors may submit papers electronically through the EasyChair portal. Please select the appropriate track for your submission since multiple technical tracks may be open at the same time.

Page Limits, Formatting and Proceedings

• Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and formatted using the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings. Papers must be submitted as a PDF file.
• Papers may not exceed 10 letter-size pages including the figures and tables. However, references are not considered in the 10-page limit.
• Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings that will be published through IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS), and available online on IEEE Xplore and ACM Digital Libraries.
• When submitting the final accepted manuscript, authors may purchase up to two additional pages beyond the original 10 pages to address comments received from the reviewers.
• Papers that do not follow these guidelines will not be reviewed.

Author and Reviewer Anonymity

• Starting this year, CCGrid will be following a double-blind review process for the main research paper track. Authors’ identities be anonymized to the reviewers, and likewise, reviewers’ identies will be hidden from the authors. Authors should make a good faith attempt not to reveal their identity in their submissions, either explicitly or implicitly.
• In the submitted paper, author names and affiliations should be replaced by “Anonymous Author(s)” and “Submission ID” <EasyChair Paper ID>”.
• You must not omit references to your own prior works that are relevant. However, references to your own past work need to be in a third-party form (e.g., instead of saying “in our past work [26] we had done …”, you can say “in [26], Chen et. al. had done …”). Similarly, if you extend your prior work, you may say, “This paper extends the prior work on ABCD by Chen et. al. by …”.
• You may post pre-prints of submitted papers on a website like arXiv, but take care to have a different title from the submitted version.
• Submissions violating the anonymization rules will not be reviewed. Is you have specific questions, please email the PC chairs.

Review Criteria and Conflicts

• Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference.
• All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged by the program committee members on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference attendees.
• When submitting your papers, you must declare your conflicts of interest with the program committee members. Conflicts may be those PC members who are currently with the same institution as any of the authors, the advisor of an author, or thos with whom you have a project/publication/grant collaboration within the last 2 years.Conference Presentation
  CCGrid 2023 will be held physically in an in-person mode. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference at the author registration rate and must present their work at the conference in the session the paper is assigned to. Any no-shows will cause the accepted paper to be withdrawn from the conference proceedings.
• In case exceptional circumstances (e.g., COVID related restrictions), the option to present remotely may be provided. In such rare cases, please write to the PC Chairs.
