We accept short paper submissions of 3,000 words / 7 pages maximum length, including abstract, figures, and references. The papers will be subject to double-blind review by at least two of the members of our programme committee (see below). Therefore, please anonymize your initial submission and include authors names and acknowledgements just after you have done all requested revisions later. All accepted short papers will be published with CEUR-WS, a community-driven publication outlet for workshop and conference proceedings from computer science and information systems. We further invite authors to extend their short paper contributions to long papers, which could then be submitted to an adjoint special issue to be published in Transactions in GIS after the workshop (accepted, but currently under negotiation).
We offer you a LaTeX template for preparing your submissions. Please use the following link to open the template in Overleaf:
Further instructions are found in the template. Once you have used the template, the created project can then also be opened in v2.overleaf.com, which provides better user experience. If LaTeX might not be an option for you, please contact us. Alternative solutions will be made available upon request.
Please submit your final manuscript (PDF; LaTeX sources upon final acceptance via email) via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=platial18. Do not forget to anonymize your manuscript to ensure a double blind review process.
