Main topics

We invite submissions of original and previously unpublished research on rough set theory, including but not limited to the following topics:

Submission details

We accept two types of submissions:

• Extended abstracts will be published in the online pdf book of abstracts.
• Full-length papers (12-15 pages) will be published in the LNCS/LNAI Springer post-proceedings.

Both types will be treated equally when designing the conference program of oral presentations.

Further details on extended abstracts:

Extended abstracts should include 1-4 pages and may describe work-in-progress as well as research that has been published else-where during the past year. Extended abstracts will not be included in the post-proceedings. They will be published as a digital book of abstracts on the conference website. Extended abstracts must be presented at the conference to be included in the book. Extended abstracts should be prepared following the same format as full-length papers, using either the Latex or the Word templates from Springer, which can be found on the Springer authors’ page. LaTex templates are available in Overleaf.

Additional details will be updated once available.

Further details on full-length papers

Full-length papers (12-15 pages) will be published in the LNCS/LNAI Springer post-proceedings. Papers with more than 15 pages may be accepted. Papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three independent and anonymous reviewers. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference, and will be published in the conference post-proceedings, both in print and digitally. Accepted papers will be shared for exclusive use of the conference participants during the conference.

All submissions must follow Springer’s Instructions for Proceedings Authors and use either the Latex or the Word templates, which can be found on the Springer authors’ page. LaTex templates are available in Overleaf. All submitted works should follow Springer’s Code of Conduct .

For authors who are interested in publishing open-access papers, please refer to Springer’s webpage for prices and additional information.
