deployed application paper and will be reviewed using criteria appropriate to its category. The
criteria are as follows:

Paper Category: Theoretical/Methodological research paper
Review Criteria: Scientific significance; originality; technical quality; and clarity

Paper Category: Applied research paper
Review Criteria: Significance for scientific research or innovative commercial deployment;
originality; technical quality; and clarity

Paper Category: Deployed application paper

Review Criteria: Demonstrated practical, social, environmental or economic significance;
originality; treatment of issues of engineering, management & user acceptance; and clarity.

Submission Procedure:
Papers must be submitted online through EasyChair following the submission link:

EasyChair Submission Link: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mike2017

Springer publishes MIKE 2017 Proceedings in Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI)
series (Approval Pending)

Authors should note that the papers should be of maximum 10 A4 pages (including figures and
tables) and manuscripts must be prepared with LaTex2e (llncs2e.zip). Author names and
affiliations details should be anonymised during the manuscript preparation so as to enable the
peer-review.

-----------------------------------

DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEW:

MIKE 2017 uses a double-blind review process for paper selection.

Authors should not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, and reviewers should not
know the name(s) of the authors.
Please prepare your paper in a way that preserves anonymity of the authors.
Do not put your name(s) under the title.
Avoid using phrases such as "our previous work" when referring to earlier publications by the
authors.
Remove information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgements (e.g., co-workers
and grant IDs).
Check supplemental material (e.g., titles in the video clips, or supplementary documents) for
information that may identify the authors identity.
Avoid providing links to web sites that identify the authors.

-----------------------------------

Submission Format:

Papers MUST be submitted in Springer LNCS format, which is the format required for the final
camera ready copy. We will accept:

Long papers: with a maximum of 10 pages Short papers: with a maximum of 6 pages

EXTRA PAGES: Authors may include 4 additional pages at an extra fee of $10 USD per page. In
exceptional cases, author's request may be considered for the waiver of this fee based on the
merits of their paper.

Both long and short papers will be considered for poster and oral (short or long) presentation at
the conference based on the reviewing criteria above. Authors' instructions along with LaTeX
(preferred) and Word macro files are available on the web at Springer's Information for LNCS
Authors page (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Authors of accepted
papers are required to transfer their copyrights to Springer. All submissions are required to be
in electronic format.
