Submissions
------------
NetGames 2018 welcomes two types of papers: regular papers to be
presented in the single-track program of Netgames, and demo papers,
which describe a demonstration that authors will present in the MMSys
demo session. Authors of regular papers are also invited to present
their work in the demo session.
Reviews will be single-blind; authors must include their names and
affiliations on the first page. Papers should not be under review at
another venue nor previously published elsewhere. Submission of a paper
for review will be considered your agreement that at least one author
will register and attend the workshop if your paper is accepted.
Submissions should be at most 6 pages in length for regular papers and 3
pages in length for demo papers (including figures and references),
formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or
greater. Regular papers that are shorter (at least 3 pages) will also be
considered for presentation and publication, so work-in-progress papers
presenting late-breaking or preliminary research results can be submitted.
The papers must be submitted on the submission platform:
https://submissions.mmsys2018.org/netgames/
Papers are eligible to DASH-IF excellence award prize:
