Submission Formats
SERVSIG 2018 invites the submission of materials in the following formats:
- Papers: Interested authors should submit an extended abstract about their research not exceeding 1500 words (excluding references, tables and figures). We encourage scholars to submit their most recent and ongoing work. Therefore, work-in-progress papers are also welcome. The abstract should outline the relevance of the phenomenon being studied, potential contributions to the field, the research question(s), theoretical foundations, conceptual framework, methodology, findings, discussion, and conclusion.
- Special Sessions: Interested presenters should prepare a proposal for a special session, not to exceed 500 words. Special sessions are designed to generate a focused discussion of a relevant and novel topic. The format can be a traditional session, but other innovative and interactive formats are especially welcome. The proposal submission should specify the topic and format of the special session and should designate a special session chair. Special session papers (or any other relevant materials) will be included in the SERVSIG 2018 conference materials.

unfortunately, I don’t know. But I doubt it is far off of the last SERVSIG 2016. The details are still online
I checked the website, seems that it does not accept works in progress anymore..
thank you for letting me know, I will change it right now
Hi, do you still accept works in progress papers?
I guess, let me check with the organizer.
Yes, work-in-progress is included in the paper category
Does special session papers 500 worlds not including bibliography?
I doubt that leaves no text anymore to write something
Hi,
Online submission system does not include ‘works in progress’ category. Will it be added to the system?
no, work-in-progress is included in the normal paper category
Would you direct me to the online submission system? I’d like to submit an abstract and have not yet located the SERVSIG 2018 online system.
Thanks!
