Paper submission guidelines:

IGSC 24 welcomes submissions that have not been published and that are not under review by other conferences or journals. All submissions will be rigorously evaluated on their originality, technical soundness, significance, presentation, and interest to the conference attendees.



The conference provides 2 tracks for technical papers: a regular paper track and a concept/position/WiP paper track. The page limit for the regular track submissions is 6 pages. The page limit for the concept/position/WiP track is 2 pages. Page limits include figures, tables and references. Please refer to the IGSC website (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.igscc.org/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!buZSNVMaOGiVP0UoalgU31QgZTnzYhLN_PZRJsySNjyhVtHvV1ueYKzVQgEnNldk_JWxYVqEt-EmQku3J0WtgCtjoh935Z4$ ) for specific instructions related to paper submission. Accepted papers will be allowed up to two extra pages for an additional cost. IGSC bestows a best paper award as selected by a technical committee.

•         IEEE template: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!buZSNVMaOGiVP0UoalgU31QgZTnzYhLN_PZRJsySNjyhVtHvV1ueYKzVQgEnNldk_JWxYVqEt-EmQku3J0WtgCtju7GXFgM$ 

•         The HotCRP system will be used to handle papers for this conference. Please follow these steps:

  1. Set up an IGSC HotCRP account if you don't already have one, at https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://igsc24.hotcrp.com__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!buZSNVMaOGiVP0UoalgU31QgZTnzYhLN_PZRJsySNjyhVtHvV1ueYKzVQgEnNldk_JWxYVqEt-EmQku3J0WtgCtjKzIiP0U$ <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://igsc24.hotcrp.com/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!buZSNVMaOGiVP0UoalgU31QgZTnzYhLN_PZRJsySNjyhVtHvV1ueYKzVQgEnNldk_JWxYVqEt-EmQku3J0WtgCtjkYWtXBw$ >

2.Log into the conference website for IGSC24: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://igsc24.hotcrp.com__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!buZSNVMaOGiVP0UoalgU31QgZTnzYhLN_PZRJsySNjyhVtHvV1ueYKzVQgEnNldk_JWxYVqEt-EmQku3J0WtgCtjKzIiP0U$ <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://igsc24.hotcrp.com/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!buZSNVMaOGiVP0UoalgU31QgZTnzYhLN_PZRJsySNjyhVtHvV1ueYKzVQgEnNldk_JWxYVqEt-EmQku3J0WtgCtjkYWtXBw$ > and follow the instructions on that page.



Double Blind Policy:

The IGSC Symposium uses a double-blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations; those that do will not be considered. References to the authors’ prior work should be made in the third person, in the same way one would reference work by others. If necessary to maintain anonymity, citations may be shown as “Removed for blind review,” but consider that this may impede a thorough review if the removed citation is crucial to understanding the submission. When necessary, authors should cite widely-available Open Source software website(s) without claiming ownership. Grant numbers and other government markings should also be blinded during the review process. Placing a preliminary version of the unpublished paper on arXiv is not disqualifying, but it is also not encouraged. Similarly, if a paper can be unblinded by active search, this is not considered to undermine the spirit of the double-blind review. However, there are resources to blind open-source repositories for review, including: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/tdurieux/anonymous_github__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!buZSNVMaOGiVP0UoalgU31QgZTnzYhLN_PZRJsySNjyhVtHvV1ueYKzVQgEnNldk_JWxYVqEt-EmQku3J0WtgCtjcscvAw0$ .

If you have questions about how to meet these guidelines, please contact the program chair before the submission deadline.

Paper publication:

We will publish papers in IEEE Xplore.

Trending Topics and Special Sessions 2024:

IGSC seeks proposals for Trending Topics and/or Special Sessions. Proposals for Special Sessions should include biosketches of the proposers, a brief description of the proposed topic and its importance, and a list of potential speakers/authors in the Special Session. Please submit Special Session proposals to one of the TPC Co-Chairs.



Student Research Forum:

The forum solicits extended abstract submissions from MS and doctoral students engaged in research on sustainable and energy-efficient computing as well as poster and project demos from all researchers, faculty, and students. Please refer to the IGSC website for submission instructions.

Industrial Partners:

The conference seeks industry partners and sponsors with opportunities for them to showcase their technologies. Please contact one of the General Co-Chairs.
