For the publication of the proceedings, it is necessary to have an agreement from all the authors. Publication on CEUR WS requires the usage of Creative Commons licences, to which you need to agree using one of the following documents (explanations copied from CEUR WS website)
In case of third-party material, they must then append a copy of the permission(s) by the third parties to use this material to the signed author agreement! In the case of material produced by Generative Artificial Intelligence tools, they must fill in and sign a declaration on which elements of the paper was produced by AI tools, see AI STATEMENT. This signed declaration must then be scanned and appended to the signed author agreement. Check ACADEMIC-ETHICS for CEUR WS rules on including such material.
Either form used must be signed by hand. Electronic signatures are not accepted by CEUR WS, due to the lack of international laws that acknowledge them.
As the workshop format encourages bringing fresh ideas and early results to be presented and discussed, and aims for giving a chance to young community members to learn and grow, we will allow submissions with a discussion potential to be conditionally accepted. In this case, authors are expected to follow the recommendations of the reviewers.
Consequently, the reviewing process will be organized in two rounds:
Best Paper Award
To encourage the submission of high-quality ideas, contributions, and papers, the IWST organizing committee is very proud to announce a Award competition in the categories of best idea, best contribution to the community and best paper for this edition of IWST.
The ranking will be decided by the program committee during the review process and by the audience voting during the conference.
The awards will be given during the ESUG conference social event.
The Awards will take place only with a minimum of six submissions. Notice also that to be eligible, a paper/abstract must be presented at the workshop by one of the author and that the presenting author must be registered at the ESUG conference.
