Traditionally FRUCT doesn't provide deadline extension, as instead, we have an early-bird submissions mechanism. It is also good to increase your chance to get your paper accepted as a Full Paper, as this way you always will have the second chance to improve the paper and get another round of review.

The Early bird submission deadline: January 31, 2022.

All papers get blind peer review by the Technical Committee. The acceptance rate of the last conference was 38%. We use the IEEE paper template and Full Paper submissions shall have at least 6 full pages.

Full papers to be published in FRUCT proceedings (ISSN 2305-7254), included to IEEE Xplore and indexed by Scopus, DBLP, Web of Science, ACM, and RSCI (as journal publication). FRUCT series is included in Scimago Journal Rank (SJR, http://scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=21100305223&tip=sid), AMiner, CORE and DOAJ (https://doaj.org/toc/2343-0737).

FRUCT has a high rating in national systems, e.g., Finnish (JUFO=1, JufoID: 72707), Norwegian (NSD=1), Danish (BFI=1, ID: 8782540).

The selected papers get an invitation to submit an extended version of the paper for publication in Scopus-indexed partner journals.

Venue:
