Submissions:
You can select one of the following 3 types of submissions:
- Full papers (min 6 full pages and up to 12 pages), deadline: 1 March 2024;
- Short papers (min 2 pages, max 6 pages), deadline: 1 March 2024;
- Poster or demo summary (min 200 words, max 4 pages), deadline: 12 April 2024.

Traditionally FRUCT doesn't provide deadline extension, instead, we have an early-bird submissions mechanism. The Early-bird submission provides authors with a unique opportunity for early review of the papers, and if needed, the authors can fix the paper according to the review comments and resubmit it before the final deadline. It significantly increases the chance of getting your paper accepted, as this way you always will have a second chance to improve the paper and get another round of review.

The Early bird submission deadline is 2 February 2024.

All papers get blind peer review by the Technical Committee. We use the IEEE paper template and Full Paper submissions shall have at least 6 full pages.

Full papers to be published in the FRUCT proceedings (ISSN 2305-7254), included in IEEE Xplore, and indexed by Scopus, DBLP, Web of Science, ACM, and RSCI (VAK list). 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:
The conference will be held at Tampere University in the middle of Finland. The location has a good bus connection with the Helsinki International Airport, plus several low-cost airlines flying directly to Tampere. We hope that this time a large part of the conference will be held in a classic face-to-face life format.

The conference also allows online participation. If you cannot come you still can join us online. But we hope that this time a significant part of the conference sections will be held in a classic face-to-face format. Come and enjoy it! We are looking forward to meeting you in Tampere!

Have an opportunity to enjoy a great conference, and Finnish hospitality, see real central Finland, and set up new contacts with colleagues from Tampere University and other top world universities.
